Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Salsbury.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Okay, let's do this.

Speaker 3 (00:08):
Sewan Salisbury to USC True's longtime friend Shawn Salisbury, Dan Matthews,
this is the Sewan Salisbury show.

Speaker 4 (00:22):
Astros back home for the Reds. It's gonna be Hunter
Brown Diesel Day over there at dyke In Park against
Nick Martinez. Timberwolves evening up their series with the Warriors
last night as they're able to pick up a win.
So it's now one all in that one in the
Texans Sean make history second round pick receiver Jaydon Higgins

(00:43):
a fully guaranteed four you deal. I used to have,
you know, a buddy of mine that I worked with
that you know, was in this business too, and he
used to get just so drawn off sides by the
term fully guaranteed. He's like, it's it's a completely redundant phrase.

Speaker 5 (00:59):
If it's guaranteed, it's guaranteed.

Speaker 4 (01:01):
There's no fully it's not like, you know, hey, we're
you know, I triple dog dare you, which you know
you can't go back on that if you get triple
dog dared or is it barnyard dog dared?

Speaker 6 (01:11):
Triple dog Okay, triple dog dared. Yeah, it's fully guaranteed. Uh, well,
is it guaranteed? Yeah, as if are you? I'm mean, hey, listen,
let me be totally honest with you instead of just honest.
You don't listen, Let me be totally honest. That's a
good point, meaning you lied to me all the other times. Shit, Yeah,
I gotta be honest with you.

Speaker 4 (01:33):
Are you always kind? Honest?

Speaker 5 (01:35):
Honest and totally honest means somehow just like when somebody
says they gave one hundred and ten percent.

Speaker 6 (01:40):
Yeah, if you're honest, isn't that total? I'm assuming when
you're honest, you're totally honest. Right, sure, But I mean
you don't go to somebody. Let me be a serious
you have a serious cause those things like this make
me laugh my ass off.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
Dad.

Speaker 5 (01:58):
Let let me be partially honest with you. Okay, just partially.

Speaker 4 (02:02):
I mean in a way you would be being honest
with me because you're you're giving you're giving me the preface,
and you're you're at least setting it up right, there's
it's gonna be half truth. So then it's on me
at that point till I kind of decipher, Yeah, which
one is like the truth and which one is. But basically,

(02:24):
so the process of being partially honest. Yeah, I'd actually
be totally honest because I've told you to look out
for the bad.

Speaker 5 (02:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:33):
Yeah, be on your toes the half the half of
it's gonna be a lie in right, Okay, so you
just zip through it.

Speaker 5 (02:39):
But let me be totally honest with you. First.

Speaker 6 (02:41):
Second, well, what shot? Yeah, because I like the other
time it was only eighty percent Dad, But I'm gonna
be a hundred percent totally honest with you totally. Is
your contract full fully guaranteed?

Speaker 5 (02:54):
Yeah? Well what does what does that mean? Yeah, well
it's guaranteed up until a point. Yeah, so can you
be totally guaranteed?

Speaker 4 (03:03):
Fully?

Speaker 6 (03:03):
But it's got to be fully guaranteed? Yeah, exactly. Now,
as you said, don't bury the lead. He's the second
round picket, a fully guaranteed contract. That's the kest one history. Yeah,
which is good. Good on his agent, Good on him.
But let me be totally honest with you, Dan, please,
But your buddy's right, what's the difference between guaranteed and

(03:25):
fully guaranteed? Some of the things we do, like, it's
a fact now that I sit here and thinking about it, saying, hey,
may let's think it's guaranteed.

Speaker 5 (03:31):
Right then your next.

Speaker 4 (03:32):
Question asked me fully, I mean, I guess you could
go the complete you can go the complete opposite direction
here where you know, hey, it's partially guaranteed. Well, then
that's just a contract, right, because I mean in that
pretty much you know there's escalators and everything for everything.

Speaker 6 (03:47):
I mean, yeah, so partially guaranteed would be like saying,
let me be semi like partially honest.

Speaker 5 (03:52):
That's it.

Speaker 6 (03:53):
Yeah, Okay, so I know that I got to sift
through what parts of the contract aren't guaranteed, right, got it?

Speaker 5 (03:59):
Okay? Yeah? Yeah? Oh man, that that makes me laugh
this morning. Just the stupidity of it makes me laugh.

Speaker 4 (04:08):
Well, I mean because it almost kind of feels like
this phenomenon in football because it's football is the only
one because they're the ones that you know have the truth.

Speaker 6 (04:16):
Now, Baseball, basketball, when you said my contract's guaranteed, you
don't have to say fully now, especially in base right,
because it is fully guaranteed.

Speaker 5 (04:24):
Yeah, the ones.

Speaker 6 (04:25):
It's that's why it's I mean in baseball and basketball
and everywhere else, and football is the only one where
you get your brains be is it, Well.

Speaker 5 (04:32):
You got a guaranteed deal.

Speaker 6 (04:34):
Yeah, yeah, what do you say like that, It's like, oh,
so it's not fully guaranteed?

Speaker 5 (04:39):
Right yeah? What a what a what a misuse of
the phrase.

Speaker 4 (04:44):
Right yeah, this game, this game is hard enough to
still it's a hey, you know, after you your brains
beat in when you're in that sixteenth game, if you
could reach a thousand yards, well then we'll really kick
in the sweetener for you. Or you could be like
five throws or five places shy of a bonus and
Cooper rush and then not allow him to get at.

Speaker 6 (05:03):
The end of the season, and then he ends up
somewhere else. Right, you know, you get that close, play
him the rest of the plays. Don't pull him out
or do him a solid and say, dude, you were close.
We could have played you with getting another guy some work.
We're paying you anyway, Like you don't do that to somebody.

Speaker 4 (05:19):
Well there, yeah, I mean that's that's the dirty side
of it. But then it was also where I think
was it Saquon that pulled himself when he had a
chance to go for Dickerson's record this year because I
think that Sirianni was going to play him if you
wanted to play.

Speaker 6 (05:33):
Yeah, just it was just it wasn't within the the
uh what's the word. I'm looking that not the gentleman part,
but the part of the game. He would have known
that they were just going for the record, right.

Speaker 5 (05:44):
I think that.

Speaker 6 (05:45):
I think Barkley's approach was, you know, what if it
fits within the scale of the game and not getting
hurt and all that, and what a wise move because
you you know, it just he didn't want to take
away from what was you know, and I get it,
you know, I get it. Did you goes to show
you what a I don't think it adds. I mean,
I think it's a lot of respect for Eric you know,
Dickerson as well, R and guys that came before him.

(06:08):
But I don't think that that's the reason he didn't
do it. I think it comes out, Hey, it's not
within the framework of the game. We're not going to
force this, which I have a lot of respect for.
I've always had respect for that kid. But man, it
seems like every movie makes there's something more.

Speaker 4 (06:20):
To like about him.

Speaker 5 (06:21):
He just a good dude.

Speaker 4 (06:22):
Now there are escalators in baseball because what the comes
to mind. The example is, remember when CC Sabbathia hit
that guy for the for the Rays in retaliation, and
he did it with the purpose of, hey, they hit
our guys, so I don't care if I get tossed
here and it costs, but you.

Speaker 5 (06:38):
Also gained respect.

Speaker 6 (06:39):
More bonus money is the bonus on respect from your
teammates and baseball as opposed to the money in your hand.

Speaker 4 (06:44):
Because the Yankees did fulfill it. They were like, well,
you know you were doing a thing for your team.
We can respect that. So here's that extra hundred k
or whatever.

Speaker 6 (06:53):
Wouldn't And now think about how far that goes. Not
only were they wise and give it him the cash
knowing that he would have got it if he pitched
what two more innings or whatever it was. And the
other side of it is that the Fellas all new.
They all know there's a half a million dollar bonus
or whatever it is sitting there, which is significant. Hell,
it doesn't matter, you don't go broke, taken a profit.
If it was twenty five grand, it's still extra money, right,

(07:15):
But it was more than that. And to do that
because you're protecting a teammate knowing that you're sacrificing your
money and not knowing at the time when you're still
on the mound that you were going to get it. Anyway,
if the Yankees were going to say, you know what,
you should have probably assumed that you weren't going to
get it in pro sports because they'll they'll they'll pull
that one on you, and they did, which is good
on them, but even more respect for the fact that

(07:37):
it doesn't matter what time of game it is. It
doesn't matter what the bonus is.

Speaker 5 (07:40):
On the end.

Speaker 6 (07:41):
The dudes in the dugout that they'll remember, I'm telling
you twenty years from now, you know what, they're not
going to ask how much was that bonus for? You
know what they're going to say, do you remember you're
going for that bonus and you plucked the guy who
you know you pluck so and so they'll remember the
guy he hit and when he hit him. Yeah, but
they they were even him would Yeah, the bonus side,
I can't remember what it was was. You know, when

(08:03):
you're in that rarefied era of money, he becomes. The
more the respect and the way the fellers are going
to talk, not just while you're still playing or when
you're two years removed, but when you go to that
dinner reunion dinner or old timers game twenty five years later,
the dudes are going to sit there and say, man,
all the wins you had, Hall of Fame style that
those are the ones that the fellaws say. Okay, man,

(08:25):
you know it's like a player. When a defensive player
makes some unbelievable hit, he could be a pro bowler
every year.

Speaker 5 (08:30):
But you know, I do remember that time you broke
him down and or tracked the guy.

Speaker 6 (08:35):
What do you think they talk about in Ben Watson's career,
great great human being, great father, right, It had a
bunch of clutch catches in a hell of a tight end,
probably understated, underrated, and played a long time.

Speaker 5 (08:47):
What do you reminder?

Speaker 6 (08:48):
I can tell you what I remember most as I'm
sitting here now, and it's as blatant as it gets
because you're probably not putting two and two together.

Speaker 5 (08:55):
Was never a catch? Who was never a touchdown?

Speaker 6 (08:57):
You remember when Champ Bailey intercepted the the goal line
was taken it to the house, one of the faster
guys in the league, and Ben Watson from across the
field tracked his ass down and tackled him at like
at the two yard line. The other way, if you
get a chance to go see it, go watch Ben Watson.
I'm pretty sure it was Champ Bailey who was taking
a ball back to the house. Ben Watson was nowhere

(09:18):
near the play. This is a tight end running about
six two sixty and ran him down from the opposite
side of the field. Go check it out and you'll
be like, I mean, I'll it was like, there's no
way that that's a tight end chasing down. You know,
Champ Bailey, who is one of the faster dudes at
his position in football. So that's those are the moments

(09:39):
like you say, Sabathia thrown at him. Hell, there's a
lot of times when I watched Sabathia pitch the guy
was unhittable, unhittable, But you go back say sacrifice. That
still got him and sacrificed because teams fellas never forget
that man.

Speaker 4 (09:52):
Now. Well, I mean it's also too, I mean the
recall of major leaguers where you know, you ask a guy, hey,
your first hit, what was it? Oh? Man, it was
a single up the middle. Guy threw me a one
to one fastball, you know, middle end to.

Speaker 6 (10:04):
Exactly, or the one they missed, Yeah, the one they missed.
And you know, somebody asked an interesting question to me
yesterday the day before on Maddox's face, and there's a
guy on second, the second or third and a game
on the line, like a World Series game. Now, if
they're both in the National League, you couldn't. But what players,
what player at the plate do you want to face?

(10:26):
If Maddox has the ball going good, who's the guy
who's the guy with two outs in the ninth has
to get you a hit?

Speaker 5 (10:31):
Who would you choose?

Speaker 6 (10:32):
Tony GWe That's exactly what I said, Yeah, and I
said in truth, it didn't take long. Now I think
about I was thinking about Wade Box. I thought about
Ichi Row. I thought, you know all those guys that
Tom Glavin told me one to me go, I get
the big guy, the big swingers out, He goes, those guys,
don't you worry me now if you make a bad pitch,
they are going to crush it, he goes. It's the
guy that fouls off, you know, two or three balls.

(10:55):
It's the guy who hangs in there that you just
can't quite get out, that it just puts about the
ball and continues to stave off your good pitches.

Speaker 5 (11:02):
He goes.

Speaker 6 (11:03):
Those are the guys that give you more concern in
a big game because you know they're gonna hit the
home runs off you or when they get into that
mo where they're carrying you. But in truth, you can
get Aaron Judge out easier than you can get out
each he Row in those situations because they're making it. Now,
you make a bad pitch, Judge will ruin you for
six weeks. Yeah, not if it's the playoffs, right, that's

(11:24):
my point, right, So and you go through it. So
it's the same thing. You know, these guys and their grind,
they know everything, and it was a pitch that Maddox
was throwing. Maddox remembers that this story about you know
that probably remembers the story about the pop up the
chipper that he was talking about when Liamizoni came out
of the dugg. You know, we've talked about that one

(11:44):
and Bobby he said, tell Bobby, no, I'm throwing this
and here's what's going to happen.

Speaker 5 (11:47):
And it happened.

Speaker 6 (11:48):
They remember that story more than Chipper Jones is two
hundredth home runner, you know what I mean, right, they
all do. And so yeah, the Sabbathias of the world.
You don't forget that stuff. You and then that one hit.
You're right, man, first touchdown or for oh and baseball
seems to know it more than football. I've said, you're
thinking my first Oh yeah for them? Oh yeah, two out,
fastball away you know, like you said, middle ind or

(12:11):
what up? And know the picture then the place in
the count and where they were in the ballpark.

Speaker 5 (12:15):
Oh yeah, you know that's a fact.

Speaker 4 (12:17):
You know those virtue signaling yard signs that people will
have in this house, you know, science all that kind
of somebody had one in the front yard. You mentioned
Wade Bogs. That's what makes me remember it is in
this house. We we believe that Wade Bogs did drink
eighty seven beers or whatever it was on that cross
country flight.

Speaker 6 (12:35):
And he and I've talked to him, did he did
when he said he ate chicken every day, you know
when he was yeah every day, Yeah, he ate chicken
every day, and oh yeah, just sucking down those beers
on a five and a half hour flight. There's a
lot of to go around. And then he probably went
out and went five for five to day. Sometimes they
just go down smooth man what can you say. I mean, look,
it's not not our fault. You know, you're you're you're

(12:57):
in the zone. You're in the zone. You're a baseball player.
Some guy like the Mickey Mantles of the world can
go out and have a good time.

Speaker 5 (13:03):
Roll it at six. Yeah, it hit.

Speaker 6 (13:06):
Two diggers in the early part of the you know,
the day night doubleheader. Boom it too comes out, says yeah.
Man had to hang over the whole time. Well, nice,
nice doubleheader. You homeward five times.

Speaker 5 (13:15):
David Wells too, I mean David David Wells. You know
the guys.

Speaker 6 (13:18):
Matter of fact, if they didn't have a headache, they
were not prepared to play.

Speaker 5 (13:21):
Interesting they needed Big Man used to say.

Speaker 6 (13:23):
That if it was I didn't have a headache when
I woke up on game day, I was more worried
than if I did.

Speaker 4 (13:28):
Huh. I mean, I guess it's kind of like you
know the athletes that you know, the the nerves. There's
so much that they actually do, Ralph, you know that
they actually do lose their guts every week.

Speaker 6 (13:38):
Yeah, and then guys, I threw up every week in
the locker room before the game. Interesting every week, huh.
And so yeah, the routine is a crazy thing, and
even that part of the routine is as well.

Speaker 5 (13:49):
For sure, for sure.

Speaker 4 (13:51):
You know, whatever way gets you ready for the game.
I mean, just don't ask Charles Haley. Please, let's let's
not do that. Yeah, just know that Charles Haley played
well when the game started. I wonder why, yeah, I
wonder why he wasn't blocked very much. Yeah, and he was, hey, hey,
you know what that guy's been doing. Yeah, I'm not
blocking him. You're blocking him. No, I'm not blocking me either,
free ring to the quarterback brother. Yeah, yeah, sorry for

(14:14):
you guys. Unfortunately, all right, let's get in some astros.
The seventeen games in seventeen days.

Speaker 5 (14:21):
The test? Can they pass it? We will discuss here.

Speaker 4 (14:23):
It is The Sewn Salisbury Show Sports Talk seven ninety.

Speaker 7 (14:28):
The Shawn Salisbury Show continues.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
And no, no, now you know.

Speaker 6 (14:37):
You know, yeah, you tricked me. Yeah, well I just
walked right. I'm just trying to get the facts, man,
just the facts. Yeah, I was that was pretty cool
that the first. It's always cool to be the first.
And now there'll be more to follow. You open the
camp arms, they'll be more and it won't be long.
Before a third rider. It's as gay and that's and
you know why they can do it because you're in
a certain price slot as well.

Speaker 4 (14:57):
It's a little different. Let me, let me go ahead
and take people. But you know, the audience behind the
curtain here this is oz if you will, is that
there's a saying in our business that we have no
original ideas in sports radio. The NFL is the exact
same way, like where it's like one one team does it,
then it's you know, oh, we got to do that
for our guy. Oh oh well, you know what, we'll

(15:17):
be the ones that do it for our guy.

Speaker 6 (15:19):
It's a copycat league, yeah, because you know, you feel
like I feel like you got a guy that in
Higgins that probably could have been an into the first
round guy, and the Texans clearly had him valued as such,
just not picking at twenty five, so they traded back.

Speaker 4 (15:34):
They got their guys, so exactly right, Yeah, I mean,
and I feel like too before we get into the Astros,
that's rights around the middle of July, Like I think
me and Gordy are going to SEC media days and
usually when that hits, that's when you're like, all right,
football's here, We're we're good to go. So once they
finish up OTA's mini camp and then you get through

(15:55):
the middle of July, the preview magazines will start hitting
the stands here pretty soon. So you got all that
to look forward to. So football is not too far away.
Everybody rejoice, all right. The Astros seventeen games in seventeen days.
You get three this weekend against the Reds, you get
the Royals for in early week three, then you go

(16:16):
on the road for the Rangers for four, the Rays
for three they're in Tampa, and then you're back home
for four against the Mariners. The good news and all
of this, Sean, the Astros are home for ten of
those seventeen games, and home has been a good spot
for them this year, so hopefully they can be able
to continue that momentum because of all the things we've

(16:37):
talked about with Dana Brown, like we talked with them yesterday,
you really want this team to start getting on a
roll and to start putting some wins together. Because the
Mariners don't look like they're slowing down. I don't really
know what the Rangers are. I think that the Athletics
are going to start falling back. But you're currently, I
believe four games back, don't have the standings in front

(16:57):
of me. But the Astros are in a position right
now where the season kind of could go one way
or the other.

Speaker 6 (17:06):
Yeah, and it's the Cincinnati Red Team's got some young talent. Man,
it's a fun to watch, you know. I always ask
the question, who would you pay to go see? These
days in this sport? Who would you pay to go see? Yeah, yeah,
he's one of them. So then you say, okay, listen, man,
I'm not really maybe I'm not a Reds fan. And
Tito's going to have them playing good baseball, you know that.

(17:28):
But you just there's certain players saying, yeah, it'd be
cool to go see him play, and this kid's one
of them, right to do. The thinks he does at
his position are pretty freaky, right. We got a lot
of those guys now that are freaky skill set and
they're they're just I mean, they're they're playing positions at
a they're supposed to be playing small forward in the NBA,

(17:50):
and they're playing like middle endfield, right, so it's shortstop
with range and making plays. But yeah, with the Astros,
these there are stretches throughout the year and four games back. Listen,
I think we all knew that the division was going
to be tougher. Now it's tough every year, but tougher
I'm talking about at the top, especially because you.

Speaker 5 (18:10):
Know, we expect the Angels to go away. Maybe this
year they won't.

Speaker 6 (18:13):
Maybe they get a full season out of trout and
pitching holds up or listen about once every seven or
eight years or less. Now, the Oakland age will play
you know when we say play hard, they will steal
some victories along the way. But I'll also tell you
this about them. Every now and again, Billy Bean's teams
rear up and win a division. They do, you know,

(18:34):
they just all they overachieve. There's this and where they're
playing right now a lot less you know, the pressure.
It's just it's it almost feels like I would think
that the small ballparks like that would almost make you
feel like you're still in free spirited smile and spring
training mode.

Speaker 5 (18:50):
Does that make sense? And you're enjoying it a little?

Speaker 6 (18:52):
We have spring training the sun's out, you know, yeah,
and there is something to be said to that because
it's not And then can you imagine wouldn't you rather
have a small ballpark that's filled than a big ballpark
that plays great music and had its run, but people
had kind of quit on going there. And there's five
thousand people in the stands. Now that feels like doing

(19:14):
lonely work. Nobody's watching. What am I doing this for?
Type of game? So look at the difference every now
and again, do they they do or they disrupt the
division at the right time or the wrong time for
a team I.

Speaker 5 (19:26):
Did that, This is that.

Speaker 6 (19:27):
That's who they're And you know what, when the seed
is over, you'll know five guys on their team.

Speaker 4 (19:32):
You will.

Speaker 6 (19:32):
They'll say, go, you'll know five guys now you may
oh yeah, I remember it, But I'm talking about more names.
Oh yeah, Miguel Tahata, right, you'll know that the Hudson
and Mark Moulder. They may have his populies them, but
that's about you. You won't be able to roll through
nine of them like you used to. Oh there's that guy.
I mean a lineup that everybody knew, sure, and that
they'll hang around. But yeah, this Astros team and it's

(19:53):
these series and this next run of games, because it's
going to test your fortitude, it's going to test your
your probably your pitching staff at some point, because you're
going to have a game or two where you've got
to use them in long relief and see how many
innings and it's got and you know there's also the sidebars.
How in these next seventeen games, we're gonna see what
mccullor's two times maybe three maybe, and so by that

(20:15):
by the time this run is over, we're gonna get
a good idea where he is right. And so yeah,
and hopefully there's not many more series to go by,
and that the big left handers back in the lineup,
so there's still a lot aside from wins and losses.
But you're right, these can you you know, you play
three or four games under five hundred, you come out
of this and you're eight games out. Because I think

(20:38):
we all knew that Seattle can pitch. They can flat
ass pitch. And if Rodriguez goes back to having the
type of play in the baseball he's played when he
came into this league, and you get it to and
you know this, dude, they cal rod they fight you,
right they they're just they grind at you right there.
They're always around. You know what they are Now they're

(21:01):
kind of like we They remind me of Tampa. You'll
get a player or two like the Ditch. It's extremely
gifted and talented Randy and a Rose Arena, you know.
And you look at the the Mariners and they'll have
a Julio Rodriguez, or you'll get a catcher that just
all of a sudden has an All Star year. That's
who they are. And what did Tampa always have? Pitching? Pitching,

(21:23):
pitching pitching, and some clutch players and they just overachieved
at the plate and pitched their ass off. That's Seattle.
And so yeah, you're exactly right. Well, it's only seventeen.
It's seventeen in a row, and you're gonna weigh seventeen
and what eighteen days?

Speaker 3 (21:38):
Is that?

Speaker 6 (21:38):
What it is? Seventeen days? Right, okay? And regardless of
the day games and night games. That's grind. And this
is some of those early grinds. And you'll have to
go through another one some point in time. But these
early grinds you got to almost withstand and try to
stay two or three games over five hundred, because I
can assure you Seattle, Seattle's last year was an aberration.

(21:59):
Seattle's the team you're seeing now than like, man, what
would they kind of they remember at the point in
time when the Astros are struggling, how Seattle was struggling
to last year, which allowed the Astros after a twelve
and twenty four start, when they started to get hot,
to gain some ground. They got hot at the right time,
Seattle got cold, and they were able to put themselves
right back in it. But I'm just telling that pitching
holds up. They're pretty good and Bochie, is this an

(22:22):
odd year?

Speaker 5 (22:23):
It is?

Speaker 6 (22:24):
Oh, what a shock? What do's it's an odd year?
Go ahead and look at Bruce Bochie's World Series wins.
When did they win the last one? Twenty three?

Speaker 4 (22:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (22:33):
Yeah, and go look, I'm pretty sure it was. Wasn't
it odd years in San Francisco?

Speaker 5 (22:37):
Even? Okay, so it's odd ten fourteen.

Speaker 6 (22:40):
He went all the even years in San Francisco and
then decided to come to the America League and start
winning in odd years.

Speaker 5 (22:44):
Right.

Speaker 6 (22:45):
But the point is that after last year and we thought,
oh it was a one year wonder, he will have
them back ready to play. You know this about him.
If their pitching stays healthy, they can be pretty nasty too.
And their bats. You know, they fire their hitting coach,
so they wanted early change production too, because when they
wanted twenty twenty three odd year for them in twenty

(23:06):
twenty three, those bats were I mean, they punished you.
They're trying to get back to that because they know
they got the pitching. If it holds up, it's pretty
strong at the front end of their rotation. So it's
gonna be a hell of a division year. So you're right,
the Astros did you don't want to go ten you know,
seven and ten on this run.

Speaker 5 (23:23):
Yeah, the Rangers starters are pretty good, I mean when healthy.

Speaker 4 (23:27):
That's why I'm talking about the top When they're healthy.
Their bullpen is pretty atrocious. And I think, well, hadn't
that been the case for a while now too? Well not,
I mean not the World the regular season, the regular
season in the World Series year, they weren't good. That's
why when everybody was like, oh man, watch out for
this went on the run and kicked that, I was like,
I was like, there's a shelf life. They'll fall off,
And You're just like, how does spores continue to do this?

(23:47):
How does the clerk continue to do this? Like I
don't understand this. So I have out of body experiences
for them. They did, and they did it. I mean, look,
and that's sometimes what it takes to go on to
a World Series run. I mean here, I mean we
saw what that bullpen did in twenty two. We saw
Jeremy Pania able to just be completely unconscious at the plates,
and I mean, yeah, you do need to have that

(24:08):
if you are going to win the entire thing.

Speaker 6 (24:09):
And think about teams that go through it. Key k
Hernandez when he was you get on that street, and
usually it doesn't matter who it is, right, there's usually
a guy number a rose of Rain. And when he
had five or six home runs in his first Worlds,
I mean he was just like, I mean he was like,
who is this cat at the time? What was he
like a twenty five year old or twenty six year
old rookie, right right, I mean, Raiken, there's always that.

Speaker 4 (24:30):
Guy who shows up the clay. You know, you just
don't want to be against you.

Speaker 6 (24:34):
So and this team's had that guy in their World
Series runs and their ALCS runs over the last eight years.

Speaker 4 (24:41):
Yeah, you just definitely hope if you're the Astros, that
you can get at the right time be able to
find your way in and then it help. It's a
big thing. I mean, you know, kind of like what
you said last year health, health was everything, because it
was I mean, your two biggest bats last year were
not healthy at that at you know, and eventually eventually
out of gas.

Speaker 5 (25:00):
Wow.

Speaker 6 (25:00):
Anyway, it's a good pitching back to back days and
that was the end of it. Yeah, in those short series,
that's what kind of happened.

Speaker 5 (25:05):
You're out.

Speaker 4 (25:06):
Absolutely, you don't want to get those two out of three's.
You want to stay out of those two out of threes.
And that's what the Astros hoping they can do this year.
So they come into tonight's game eighteen and eighteen, currently
four games back of the Mariners, and like I said,
they'll see them during these seventeen games in seventeen days.
The Astros at home, I mean, a narrative that I
thought we would never really be able to speak about positively. Well,

(25:28):
now you can, and the numbers back it up. We'll
talk about it here. Sean Salisbury Show.

Speaker 7 (25:34):
The Shawn Salisbury Show continued.

Speaker 4 (25:39):
The Astros hitters Sean at home or away from dik
In Park this season, Well, the numbers are absolutely striking.
I mean, it seems like all of a sudden that
center field batters, eye everything else that remember we were
talking about in twenty twenty three, even for parts of
last year. I mean, I need to go back and
see what their home record was, but I mean, I

(26:00):
don't think it was as bad as it was in
twenty three, but they seemingly could never win at home
in twenty three and then obviously reared it's ugly had
in the LCS where you only needed one of those
games and you lost both of them to the Rangers,
and they went on the World Series and you stayed home.

Speaker 6 (26:12):
And it happened late in the season if you remember
Dan too also, I mean the struggle like you said,
but then they were losing games late in the season
against subpar teams at home and at times on the road.
But you're talking about the twenty three season, right, Remember
late they had to find their way. Would they went
five or six to get in, But they put themselves
in a bune with some late, late losses at home

(26:33):
and late losses against teams that you shouldn't be losing.
Series two, and then, as you said, when you get
to the you know, to the playoffs and a chance
to go the World Series and it disappears and all
you need to do is win one of the two
at home, and couldn't do it, and then your arrival
becomes a World Series champ. So it's a mixed for

(26:55):
It was like a double whammy, right, It got us
in our building and it was the those guys. So yeah,
it's that they're better, and it's the way it should be.
This is the way they played.

Speaker 4 (27:05):
When they were at home, when they were winning early
World Series like seventeen and doing it.

Speaker 6 (27:09):
But it's nice to see that back. But you still
you got to make sure when when a team, even
though it was on the road, the White Sox don't
steal these series from me down the road, you know,
teams like that.

Speaker 4 (27:18):
Yeah, forty six of their eighty eight wins last year
were at home, and then they were thirty nine and
forty two in twenty three. They won ninety games in
twenty three to win the division.

Speaker 5 (27:28):
The last day of the season.

Speaker 4 (27:29):
Yeah yeah, I mean they'd clinched getting into the postseason,
put the division right. Yeah, thanks to the Mariners for saying, ah,
you know what, we're not going out that way. Thanks
Mariners appreciated guys, and the Astros were the ones that
won the aos. And then the Rangers, who you know,
always have the Astros front of mine for them when
they're doing their little Mickey Mouse parade around their little

(27:50):
parking lot there of you know, hey, a lot of
people wondered what would have happened if the Rangers didn't
win the World Series? So I guess we'll never know.
You're not even the four most popular team in that area.

Speaker 5 (28:02):
So it stop.

Speaker 6 (28:03):
Okay, stop Hatfield's and McCoy's Dallas.

Speaker 4 (28:08):
And you know they can have all their high and
mighty feelings about like permission to get off track here momentarily,
and then we'll get back into the Astros. You know,
we'll get there some in your crawl. Yeah, what is
the arrogance with people from Dallas? I really don't get it.
You live in a city, that's all you do. You
live in a city you don't You don't live in
a city that's known for very much Like I just

(28:29):
I really don't understand people that are from there that
have this like sense of entitlement to arrogance that they have.
I really don't get it.

Speaker 6 (28:37):
I would think that you're probably right on that. Having
lived in Dallas for about a decade, well ten to
twelve years, I think that they'd like part of it
to be Los Angeles. You know that that that pomp
and circumstance, it goes with it. But I saw Dallas
a little different, right, And my kids went to school

(28:58):
there in high school. There so a lot of friends.
So my feeling, I am not the oh my gosh,
I hate Dallas thing.

Speaker 5 (29:06):
I actually like the city and the people treated me well.

Speaker 6 (29:09):
But in terms I agree in terms of what you're
saying about the sports arrogance, I would I would think
that you're probably right because you go through it. Let's see,
they've won one NBA Championship in the last what fifteen years? Right,
I mean their entire exist right, right, and they've they've
won one World Series, been to what three now or

(29:30):
four in the last twenty five years?

Speaker 5 (29:31):
Twenty years, twenty years? I think yeah, I think it's three.

Speaker 6 (29:35):
During that that time when they were when when Ron
Washington was there in that group, Saint Louis got them
and then they I'm trying to think, was there two
of them? You know, when Josh Hamilton that group was
there the whole thing. Giants got them for one, right,
and Ian Kinsler that whole right, so they right with
the two and then they finally got the one with Boach. Yeah,

(29:55):
and so their hockey teams won one and they're they're
regular in the po postseason.

Speaker 5 (30:00):
I'll give them the hockey team.

Speaker 6 (30:01):
I think that's genuine, and it's very genuine, and they
embraced them the second they won't down there they did,
and that's the hockey fans are different too, no matter
where you go, they're just they're built different.

Speaker 4 (30:12):
Sure.

Speaker 6 (30:13):
And then finally, the Cowboys haven't sniffed one since them
in nineties. So there's that arrogance because they still call
themselves America's team because there's a star in the middle
of field, right are they Maybe they think they are,
But if you're talking about America's team winning championships, well
we know.

Speaker 4 (30:25):
That there would tell you they're still America's team. That's
exactly right. Merchandizing would still tell you their America's team.

Speaker 6 (30:30):
Hence why because the money usually tells you the America's
team and ratings that in that case they are. So
there's an arrogance about it, but it's certainly you know,
you can find something good and bad about every city,
but yeah, I saw it different. But I get because
they're just staying there. They have the arrogance that that
this city is a lesser town. Does that make you

(30:52):
know what I'm saying There's that there's that feeling of
superiority over over over Houston because they don't address Houston
as much Houston dress. It's almost like, who are they? Well,
we can tell you who we are. Yeah, your city's
who you are because of who we are, sending it
loudly from the college basketball team right on up, you know.
I mean, if you want to have the conversation, yeah,

(31:13):
we well, the Texans have won just as many Super
Bowls as the Cowboys have in the last since mid nineties. Now,
I mean, if you want to go off existence, yeah,
I'm talk about I'm talking about just since the mid nineties,
even though they weren't there in the mid nineties. Since
the Cowboys started and then when the Texas started, they
have the same amount of Super Bowl appearances, let alone wins. Okay,

(31:34):
so there is and I and I do there's a
lot of great people there. But I do get what
you're saying. And the truth is, there is definitely this
feeling of that they've treated that this city's a step below.
When you're going south, you're going south as a step below.
There's no doubt there's that feeling there. But I don't
have it disstayed for Dubtas just because my kids. You

(31:57):
got to have that feeling what kids went to high
school there and all their buddies that grew up with.
But that's that's the emotional feeling of friends, not what
you're talking about. It's the sports air against which kind
of bleeds over into everything else.

Speaker 4 (32:07):
Right, it's probably why I hate SMU honestly, probably because
there's no reason for me to hate s Why would you, right, yeah, exactly,
but you had something like.

Speaker 6 (32:15):
You know, a buddy of years there that you he's
no longer your buddy anymore. But in truth, what I
don't mean they're non the script. There's a lot of
there's a lot of money there. They they're getting more.
They were relevant when Larry Brown was coaching the basketball team.
You know they've gotten better and then you know getting
in the playoffs, So give them a lot of credit.
But there really is no reason to hate them other

(32:37):
than their living near about the richest area in Dallas,
and there's some arrogance there because it's a you know,
the kid's got money, and you know it's your law
school and oil and gas. I mean, they've got a
lot of stuff going on there, and it's in a
friggin dude. When they say, hey, where'd you go to school?
Ask me, Oh, gosh, the lower You know, it's such
a great area, right, So yeah, I get it.

Speaker 5 (32:57):
I do.

Speaker 6 (32:58):
And there is a sports aregains. It's like it's not
Boston or they can have sports there against because they've
won like every season, one of their four major sports
is in contention to win something. They're winning something all
the time. So you get theirs and it's never good enough.
We won four Salisbury, We've got to win five more.
That's how they feel there. Here we haven't won any

(33:20):
but we feel like we've won fifty down in Dallas.
We're here, you know what I'm saying that that's how
they feel. So but yeah, there's no doubt the superiority
they feel. This feels like the blue collar grind a
little bit more, right, even though there's plenty of money
in this town too.

Speaker 4 (33:37):
You just channeled Jimmy from Southey. Right, oh yeah, that's
that's who that guy was.

Speaker 6 (33:42):
Dude, when I worked at guys for my buddies, when
I worked at ESPN. You hang around them long enough
and then they're in the production crew and they're talking.
It's like Billy Fair with it. I mean, it's like, dude,
I didn't come from Boston, but with the name Sean,
I can fit in quite You got to do just this.

Speaker 5 (33:56):
Listen to you guys talk and I can roll.

Speaker 4 (33:57):
You ever noticed that like Massachusetts towns, they sound like
they were pronounced by by somebody that's from up there.

Speaker 6 (34:04):
Saugust, oh yeah, Falmouth, oh yeah. And there's also some
the Framingham oh yeah, oh, there's there's no where you
find Ken yeah oh yeah, oh yeah, and the uh
towne exactly Southy. Yeah, there's no doubt. Charleston.

Speaker 5 (34:20):
Yeah. Tough times there, yeah, yeah, tough times.

Speaker 4 (34:23):
They made it. They made a whole movie about Oh yes,
they did, John Hamm and everybody there, the whole shootout
at Fenway.

Speaker 6 (34:28):
Yeah, you gotta be uh you're looking for a fight
in that part of that.

Speaker 4 (34:33):
See it's funny too, and you know we'll uh well
continue the conversation on this one. But like a buddy
of mine was given me the whole thing of being
from the northeast, and he's like, neighborhoods are a big
thing up there. Like I don't think like we we
we don't look at neighborhoods. We look at areas where
we're from. But like you know, he's like neighborhoods. He's like, say,
for example, you know, I don't know.

Speaker 6 (34:54):
You got to be which is spelled Worcester. Yeah, okay,
the masks, yeah yeah, where where are you from? The
Oh they're from a Worcester. It's like, all, you're not
from there, get out of here. It's not yeah wos.

Speaker 4 (35:08):
But the whole thing is like a neighborhood bar, because
like you said, like you know, the neighborhood was the thing.
You're not from there. You walk into that bar, everybody
will turn around and be like is this guy?

Speaker 5 (35:16):
Oh, it's true, who are you?

Speaker 6 (35:18):
And if you missed the night sitting at the bar
in the neighborhood bar, they want to know what's wrong? Yeah,
anybody check on Jimmy? Yeah, is Paulie here? Oh yeah,
there's no question.

Speaker 5 (35:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (35:26):
Yeah, it was supposed to be here playing Keno man. Well, yeah,
we're having bs. Yeah, oh yeah, there is no doubt. Absolutely,
what what is you know? You know, you know the
drill and the truth.

Speaker 6 (35:36):
The truth is if you do sit at a bar
in like a neighborhood bar in Boston, which fortunately I
have places like that, Yeah, no doubt, it is awesome
to listen to them, bitch, and I mean in a
good way. Right there, t we They've won like fourteen
out of fifty.

Speaker 4 (35:53):
Oh what what?

Speaker 5 (35:53):
What what is Tito doing? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (35:55):
Yeah, you know, and it's like, dude, you lost three
to one.

Speaker 6 (35:58):
Right, You've hit forty seven home runs in the fifteen
game Homestead.

Speaker 4 (36:03):
Where do you can play?

Speaker 5 (36:04):
But that, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, that Belichick,
Guy Bray. What what's Tommy? Tommy too?

Speaker 6 (36:09):
It's not tom the bar, it's Tommy, you know so.
And just like you see on TV, that's about as
close to real as it gets. But it's not the clubs.
It's the neighborhood bars. And you want to talk sports
or talk just life or what mafia guy rolled through
there forty seven years ago, fifty years ago, and they
don't have a.

Speaker 5 (36:28):
Problem with it.

Speaker 4 (36:28):
You see that Boston right there, Whitey Ball just sat there.
When I was a little kid, he gave me twenty
dollars to bury a cat. Yeah, and if you go
sit at it's all you better get out of his seat.
Ye yeah, yeah he didn't ex is it, white He'll
still kill you. Yeah he's not alive anymore. Yeah, Fleming,
all the guys are upstate. Man, I'm goodie.

Speaker 6 (36:44):
I'm already exhausted doing the accent for having to do
it the whole day. But did they get after it
the truth.

Speaker 4 (36:51):
To see if Big Boss is listening because he's a
Boston guy, you know, Brian Erics. Oh yeah, so, I mean, well,
we'll know during the break if.

Speaker 5 (36:57):
There's two of us in the building. Yeah, there you go,
there you go.

I can't miss radio, right, and then.

Speaker 5 (40:11):
Well it's like you went away from being that guy
to that guy, you didn't make that, you didn't fall that,
that didn't happen right right, because he was Yeah, I
can't miss radio.

Speaker 6 (40:20):
So yeah, man, the playing the hits, Tripoli music, such
a adds so much to everything.

Speaker 5 (40:27):
Right, you bring it, buddy, Yeah, sure you do it
all of a job. Sure does. All right.

Speaker 4 (40:31):
So we'll continue the astros conversation in the seven o'clock hour.
But the pope was picked yesterday, yep. And there's there's
sports that all all throughout. Pope Leo's papacy.

Speaker 6 (40:44):
Already and I can't wait to first and we the
US born right, yes, and Chicago, I believe, Yeah, he's
a Chicago And I'll tell you. Also we need to
discuss is uh, what if this extent? What if this
ten day aisle goes longer?

Speaker 5 (41:00):
God on yourn? Now, what are your feelings?

Speaker 4 (41:04):
Do you panic?

Speaker 6 (41:05):
You worried? Are you worried? If it lasts longer than
this and he's not in the lineup, then what even
if it's not even if it's just a few stays,
I don't even know. What do they have to do
retroactive twenty one day or and put him on that
or fifteen days and.

Speaker 5 (41:19):
Try to get five?

Speaker 6 (41:20):
How do you can you go back to back ten days?

Speaker 4 (41:24):
But then like, yeah, I think like you have to
extend it out right if you do, and.

Speaker 6 (41:29):
That counts as something against it, right whatever? Yeah, I mean,
you know there's a rule for a rule, man. So
I just didn't know, can you go back to back
ten or do you got to make a retroactive and
go to a fifteen day or I don't know how
that works. But I'm just wondering if he's not in
the lineup on time, are you more concerned? Yeah, And
Dana told us yesterday it's soft tissue, it's not structural, right,

(41:50):
so hopefully it doesn't linger and get him back in
the lineup.

Speaker 5 (41:52):
It's a fair question. That's a fair question for sure.

Astro's back home for the Reds to fire up a

Bill on Twitter saying that he traveled to Boston a
handful of times for work and that every sports bar
or excuse me up there to tavern tavern up there

(45:48):
had a guy like this, no joke, not making fun

picture of Cliff Claven, which yeah, I mean, look, you
know it's one of those. You got the guy that
works downtown at what Prada and that the big tower
that's there and in Boston, and you know they go

knows the mailman, you know, yeah, everybody knows them. You know,

(46:11):
a couple a couple of guys that are union construction guys.
They're in there Foreman's and they're buying beers on a Thursday.
And I was gonna say, and then maybe even you know,
you got you know, the police superintendent, he might be
in there, the fire fire captains and there.

Speaker 6 (46:24):
Yeah, they may go and they're going to Saturday's a
day game they're heading. They're talking about they're going to

Speaker 4 (46:32):
Yeah, meets you a kin mola. Well no, no, no, no,
you get you get it from the sausage guy right
there at Lanston.

Speaker 6 (46:37):
That's right, right, yeah, right, and dropping a drop into
the cask and flag it.

Speaker 5 (46:41):
Yeah cask. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (46:43):
Although I got to wonder if there's like local spots
around there that like, especially if you stay.

Speaker 6 (46:47):
At because well, because they dropped Fanoway Park down right
in the neighborhood. Yeah, yeah, it's right. I mean if
you blink and your your your walk. When I first
went to Fenway Park in the neighborhood, they take cab,
drop you off. You gotta walk like by a dunkin Donuts.
Anybody it's ever been over like ken Moore Square and
drop you off by a dunkin Donuts and you walk
the back way in and going the back way behind

(47:07):
the monster. Or if they take a cab and they
put it right there right next to cask and flagging
on landsdown. But as you're driving, you're like, well, because
you know you're driving to a stadium, you'll see a
big old stadium, or you're driving into Atlanta. You know,
all of a sudden you're like, wheay, Yeah, if you're
not looking for the cit go sign. And so you

(47:27):
come and depending on where you come in from h
and all of a sudden it makes the left and
then the right, another right, and he pulls up and
you're like this little bandbox Sunway Park, and you've been
in a neighborhood. There's some good shopping, but hole in
the wall. Walk across the street and down and make
a left and you pop on the subway, you know,
or the t the team right there you go. So

(47:50):
it's like this is this is so on the end,
you're like, oh my gosh, this is really cool. And
then if you walk in from the home plate part
of Fenway Park through the back end there you know,
but the monster seats that go up in the center
field well and all that stuff. But you walk in
from which used to be Yawky.

Speaker 5 (48:07):
Way, right they change their name or whatever.

Speaker 6 (48:10):
You walk in there and all that memorabili and the
steak sandwich and the Finway frank A right there, the sauce,
the Italian sausage sound, peppers and onions. But you walk
in and then you walk through the in their tight
corridors and you look out and the wall feels like
it's where the third basement is, and you're like, oh
my gosh, this is awesome. But yeah, back to your
story about all those guys you name please. And also

(48:33):
a couple of guys that just got done on their
fire shift will pop in even to the cop bar
once in a while because that's their their their type,
first responders, right, and they'll they'll have us a beer
and it won't just be Sam Adams. I mean, they'll
have beer and they love to drink their cold beer
and they will have a blast.

Speaker 4 (48:51):
That's funny, now you get because that's the other thing too,
is the New York you have that where you know,
all the cops live around each other, all the firefighters
live around each other. And then yeah, you know, going
to the bar, it's like, oh, that's those are the
boys from the nineteenth Oh yeah, let's hey, let's send
them over some drinks. And they'll send them over some
goofy shot or something like that that they're just like, hey, yeah,
by the way, guys, that's from the boys over there

(49:12):
at that table, and they'll all hold up their drinks
like being like smirking, like.

Speaker 5 (49:15):
Laugh, We're going to get you back.

Speaker 4 (49:17):
Yeah, enjoy boys.

Speaker 6 (49:19):
Yeah, And they do. Yeah, and they don't say they're
a fire person or a fireman at the nineteenth. They
just say, oh, those are the boys from the nineteen
those everybody just knows where the nineteenth is.

Speaker 4 (49:32):
Yeah, real, real wild cards. So you gotta watch out
for those guys. You get a call with those guys,
watch out.

Speaker 1 (49:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (49:38):
And then the bartenders every time you're picking up your
shot glass and wiping it off with a towel that
I've been there and this is what you see on
TV and those pubs.

Speaker 5 (49:47):
I'm just telling you, yeah, that that's them, and that's been.
It's been.

Speaker 4 (49:52):
It's been the same guy or lady behind the bar
for over thirty years.

Speaker 5 (49:55):
Oh, there's no doubt.

Speaker 6 (49:56):
What you're not going to get in the local pub
is the twenty five year old college, the sororities graduate.

Speaker 5 (50:02):
She got it.

Speaker 3 (50:02):
No.

Speaker 6 (50:03):
And the reason I say that you got to work
your way into that position because those gals have been there.
It's like it's like a because the union even though,
but it's equivalent to like a dealer in Vegas or
a bar tener with the Union. Dude, they'll work till
their ninety because they're making and they've been doing it's
a career. Yeah, there's fifty years and nobody's questioning because

(50:23):
you're making they're they're making a quarter of a million
bucks a year with all the tips.

Speaker 5 (50:27):
And I'm just telling you their print money. Yeah, and
that's why he.

Speaker 4 (50:30):
Said, why is this seventy year old, eighty five year
old still turn to serving union? That's why.

Speaker 6 (50:34):
And they're still and they got their their their locals
and their favored boom boom, and they've been doing it
for fifty years. And that's why the twenty five year old, Hey,
I want to get a bar job, Well, you ain't
get one of the neighborhood job unless you want to
go through Mama over there, and you'll take an ass
whooping before you'll get the job.

Speaker 5 (50:48):
And it's it is true.

Speaker 6 (50:50):
And the females there, we'll sit there and they can
drink with you, yeah, and probably out out do you
in the football toss in the street and whoop your
ass a little bit too. And they've played hot.

Speaker 4 (51:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (51:00):
I don't mean to me. I'm just to you know
what I'm saying.

Speaker 6 (51:02):
Yeah, you know, they just it's like when you see
right in the movies, the townies and stuff.

Speaker 4 (51:06):
Yeah, it's it's classic, man. Yeah, you just go, you
just go, pull up to a barstool. It's like, hey,
that's that's Jimmy spot. Well, Jimmy's not here. Well, Jimmy's
gonna be here, right, And the beer is waiting on Jimmy.

Speaker 6 (51:18):
They've already poured it because it's twelve oh five and
Jimmy Waltz is in and orders the same sandwich every
day at twelve ten.

Speaker 5 (51:24):
That's it. That's it, no doubt.

Speaker 4 (51:25):
You gotta you gotta know the way of the land,
and you know what, the truth is different.

Speaker 5 (51:28):
I love different cultures.

Speaker 6 (51:29):
I do like going there, going down to Philly or
New York or here in the South. You know what
I love about it though, whether you like that the
one thing you they are phenomenally or brutally honest. Yes,
if you can't handle abrasiveness, that's not your place. But
there's no pass.

Speaker 5 (51:47):
And then there and they and they love you matter
of fact, when they quit talking trash to you. I'm hardcore,
you're probably you're probably on your way right.

Speaker 6 (51:56):
So it's one of those when you cross the state line,
it's like, okay, now drove it. Driving in from Callahan
Tunnel headed over and get my coffee at Dugan Notes
at Fedway's day game, they're talking, yeah, and they're honest,
and they're, like I said, just if you're a and
if you're an athlete, one of those things, just don't
make any excuses, show up and play and even when
you're struggling, don't make any excuses or talk bad about

(52:18):
the fan. And then they'll love you for it. And
then if you're good, you'll never buy a beer. And
that's the truth. You will never buy a beer in
that town again. Now, Freddie Lynn aint buying a beer
when he goes back to Fenway. Yeah, I'd say probably
Keith Folk. If he shows up somewhere, they're like, oh
my god, that's Keith Folk. How can you tell, even
without the glove, you know it's got the Texas flag on.
Oh yeah, yeah everywhere. But yeah, I just love going
I do. And I love going to ballparks at different

(52:38):
cultures like I do, like different accents. Say, Okay, if
you haven't been to a ballgame in San Francisco, go
watch that's a great ballpark.

Speaker 5 (52:46):
Or go to Pittsburgh or go to I just I love.

Speaker 6 (52:49):
That's one of my favorite things is New ballparks, new
fans and at a local bar having a cold beer
and listening to the chatter on a day game, speaking
of you know, places like that. Chicago, like this joke
has been making its way around after Pope Leo was named.
Yesterday Chicago produced a Pope before a quarterback throws for
over four thousand yards. That's so wrong. Well, what was

(53:11):
the other one? They said? Oh, gosh, I saw.

Speaker 4 (53:15):
From Big ten Country one. Pope's from the SEC zero. Yeah,
Pope got elected faster in two days.

Speaker 5 (53:25):
Than yeah, two days for the three for Schador.

Speaker 4 (53:32):
What was another one?

Speaker 1 (53:33):
That?

Speaker 4 (53:33):
I was the hole where you know, the the marquee
outside Wrigley Field that well, if they win, Cubs win
all that the W flag is up? Uh is hey Chicago?
Like their song the Hey Chicago? What do you say?
Cubs are going to win the day And they said,
hey Chicago, he is a Cubs fan. But then quickly
people were pointing out twofold the White Sox were like, no,

(53:55):
he's not. And then there was an interview that w.
G N did with his brother or where they're like,
you know, was he a Cubs fan? He goes, oh no, no,
Bob was not they called him Bob Bob. Bob was
not a Cubs fan. He was a Socks fan.

Speaker 6 (54:08):
So white, you're a north Side or a south side
even though they're in different leagues.

Speaker 4 (54:13):
Mom's side were North Siders and most of them were
Cubs fans. The dad, you know, Pope Leo's dad was
a Cardinals fan, but he grew up a white Sox fan.

Speaker 5 (54:24):
Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 6 (54:25):
So if he's a Cardinals fan, you can't be a
Cubs fan. And if you're a Cardinals fan, you have
to be a white Sox fan. If you're living in
Chicago and a Southsider and they that tough part of
town too. Oh yeah, by ol Kamisky and where they
put the new one. Yeah, it's like buddy out over it.
You'll see the project. You'll see him right across the way.

Speaker 7 (54:44):
No.

Speaker 4 (54:44):
So, like a buddy of mine was telling me a
story once they went to a game and they have
streets blocked off and they were about to start walking
down the street and you know, Chicago cops got the
checkerboards on his you know hat, everything like that goes, Hey, man,
where are you going? And he was like, oh, you know,
we were told you know this was a cut through
to get to our car.

Speaker 5 (55:02):
He goes, are they north side? You know this is
on this was on the south side.

Speaker 6 (55:05):
Oh you're talking about this was leaving then I'm talking
about Wrigley, you're talking about there on the south side
and the and they're asking there they're walking and.

Speaker 4 (55:12):
The cops stopped him and goes, hey, man, where are
you going? And he goes he goes, look, I can
let you go down the street. I don't advise that
you go down the street, is what he was telling them.

Speaker 6 (55:19):
I was about say, if you're saying that about the
north SIDE'M like, no, Waveland and the rest. It's a
fun area. Great, yeah, south side, Yeah, don't don't, don't don't. Yeah,
And I would imagine he was saying, well, not only
are you walking on the south side, you're walking in
and you're headed down an area that shortcuts not a
short cut.

Speaker 4 (55:35):
I could take exactly, no question, exactly.

Speaker 6 (55:37):
And you can see it if you stayed for the
parking lot at New Comiskey and they got the plate
in the parking lot where old Komiskey home plate was.
But yeah, that's it, that's it. He did them a
favorite that day because it's it's a that's that you
probably yeah, yeah, you leave your wallet at home. Yeah,
or it's just not a play that mean, it's just
tough time. That's a tough neighborhood. And it's like basically

(55:59):
that chamber of commerce is not that way. Don't don't
go that way, right, And I'm gonna I'm saving you
your time matterfan cop in the back of my car.

Speaker 5 (56:06):
I'll drive you across the street. You go there.

Speaker 4 (56:08):
Yeah, we we had a similar when we were traveling
through Chicago years ago, went and saw mom's family in Iowa.
We were looking for our hotel and we got stopped
and the cops were like, hey, just follow us.

Speaker 5 (56:20):
We'll show you my buddies.

Speaker 6 (56:22):
When I got to USC I got a bunch of
buddies who went to Sarah High School and Crenshaw and
you know, so and you know, like I said, I'm
from the mean street to Esco.

Speaker 5 (56:30):
But there a couple of my buddies said, hey, Sean,
when you come I said, I got to kind of
come to the house this weekend man, meaning because his
mom and dad were like the second family for me, right, yeah, yeah,
and not on just through the recruiting, but like sophomore year,
and they said, so you're driving over here alone, Sean,
he goes, just let them know you know us, because
if you pull up to a stop side, did this
neighborhood and a buddy of mine who was went to

(56:51):
Long Beach Polye say, he goes, just let him know
you're coming. Let me know you're coming, Sean, and we'll
make sure. Because you pull up to a stop.

Speaker 6 (56:56):
Side in this neighborhood looking like you look, don't know
that you're one of us and one of one of
our guys, or and they love Trojan football players, but.

Speaker 4 (57:05):
Don't know that.

Speaker 6 (57:06):
He said you you might as well just hand your
just put to put the car and park, get out
and say here you go, because it will not be
yours if you're going to roll up to the stop
sign in this neighborhood without the fellaws being with you.

Speaker 5 (57:18):
It was classic. And I didn't.

Speaker 6 (57:19):
I went visiting my either a rolling stop or I
had one of the the two of them.

Speaker 5 (57:24):
Were they were brothers.

Speaker 6 (57:25):
I said, well, when am I picking you up, I'll
come get you Sean and we'll lay together. Yeah, OK,
then everybody will know once you've been Then you don't
have to ask the second time, but the first time
that stop sign, don't stop there, I said, I got it.

Speaker 5 (57:36):
You guys know I wouldn't know.

Speaker 4 (57:38):
So there you go like you made Doka says kyp
know your personally, that's exactly right. And then then then
once you're in and the fellaws, once you've crossed that
stop sign and they okay, he's one of us.

Speaker 6 (57:49):
And I loved it. Then, so that's the best times ever,
the best time. And I love going into different neighborhoods
and different ballparks, and even with your own buddies when
you go into their neighborhood and how they're doing it different,
which I love.

Speaker 5 (57:59):
Sit on the porch. One of my.

Speaker 6 (58:00):
Buddies old school has his tag top On was my
best wide receiver. Take tub On, still drinking his iced tea,
sitting on the front like his pops did.

Speaker 3 (58:08):
Right.

Speaker 6 (58:08):
And then my buddies who's now running he's one of
the pr guys first are high school. I just love
him because you know they grew up and it was
they never missed a beat man.

Speaker 5 (58:17):
Awesome freaking love them. They're all like family, man. I
miss them. Those are the days.

Speaker 6 (58:21):
That's why we always say when you take the paycheck
or the memories. Give me those memories and football and
around him some good stuff.

Speaker 4 (58:27):
Man, the line you just dropped, he's one of us.

Speaker 5 (58:31):
It's earned getting. Oh yeah, you and that's exactly right.

Speaker 6 (58:34):
And you better know you got to you better make
sure you're doing the right thing because once you're once
you're in part of the family, you got to be
a really dumb ass to screw that up. You know
what I'm saying. Don't do it, and then they look
out for you all the time for sure.

Speaker 4 (58:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (58:48):
Sure, Once you're in, you're in. There is no getting out.

Speaker 4 (58:50):
All right, coming up, Well, if you're gonna do this,
I would advise that you don't do it at this place.

Speaker 5 (58:57):
We'll discuss here. It is Seawan Salisbury Show.

Speaker 7 (59:00):
Were that the Shawn Salisbury Show continued?

Speaker 5 (59:08):
All right, Sean?

Speaker 7 (59:08):
What are you hearing out there now? The Salisbury takeout?
Salsbury's takeout on the Sean Salisbury Show. Indeed it is.

Speaker 5 (59:19):
It is Sean Salisbury Show.

Speaker 4 (59:21):
Sports Talk seven ninety astros home for the Reds to
start up a weekend series. The Texans giving their second
round pick Jaden Higgins a guaranteed four year deal. First
one in NFL history for a second rounder. All right, Sean,
So today's scenario, we go to Connecticut where a couple

(59:41):
were arrested for doing the funny business in front of
a place that they absolutely should have been smarter than
to be out in front of. So, according to WFSB
Channel three, up there in Connecticut, troopers pulled up to
a parking lot of the True H. Hartford Barracks for

(01:00:02):
the Connecticut State Police and noticed there was a car
blocking the gated entrance. They then walked up to the
vehicle and saw that there were occupants who were not
dressed and were engaging in lude activities. Troopers then asked him, Hey,
you know, why don't y'all get a little decent step
out of the car.

Speaker 5 (01:00:20):
Let's talk about this a little bit.

Speaker 4 (01:00:22):
And they noticed that there were signs of impairment and
also that hey, these two really don't know each other
field sobriety tests all of that they failed, and the
female passenger admitted to troopers that she was a lady
of the night, that she also had three ten dollars
bills at the top of her purse, and they realized

(01:00:46):
pretty quickly that thirty four year old Willie Ferrell and
forty eight year old at Deandra Lessek where he cougared out. Yeah,
so he was delivering pound cack for pay. Yeah, she was.
She was a hooker, a lady of the night. Yeah,

(01:01:06):
the zoid m.

Speaker 6 (01:01:09):
That's a zoid's affection, right that she was going to
say she.

Speaker 5 (01:01:12):
Was holding out?

Speaker 4 (01:01:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:01:14):
Yeah, what did Popo do? They took him in.

Speaker 4 (01:01:17):
So you've got Farrell who is now facing after being
arrested illegal operational motor vehicle under the use of drugs
and alcohol, improper parking because again you're blocking the gated
entrance to the state Police barracks.

Speaker 6 (01:01:32):
Yeah probably, I mean why tempt that all right? Were
they're trying to pull it off? Or now realize where
they were?

Speaker 5 (01:01:38):
And I'm gonna go there in a second.

Speaker 4 (01:01:39):
Because also criminal trustpassed, third degree soliciting sexual acts exchange,
all of that and then uh list sick herself, drug paraphernalia,
controlled substance trustpassed, Willie Ferrell, Bill Bill Bill Ferrell, and
uh which actually didn't even think about it, will Ferrell.

Speaker 6 (01:01:58):
Yeah, not to be confused with will fare Yeah, but
we'll call this guy Bill Ferrell, Bill Ferrell.

Speaker 4 (01:02:03):
Yeah, And then also to the soliciting all of those
different things.

Speaker 5 (01:02:07):
But she didn't solicit him there, so she obviously, But
can you call it soliciting if you didn't catch her soliciting? Well,
maybe he just said he was attracted and she decided
it wasn't for pay this time? Was she?

Speaker 4 (01:02:18):
She admitted? I know, why would she give him up
like that? I mean there is that or herself.

Speaker 6 (01:02:23):
Yeah, it's like you're automatically man, oh you're getting sex
for money?

Speaker 5 (01:02:26):
Okay, well you gotta take yet. Right where was this at?

Speaker 4 (01:02:28):
This was the troop H Hartford Barracks there in Connecticut.
So you think it's like the old like the back
of the flashlight to the window, the especially, Hey, if
you're any deep pound cake delivery, you're not stop doing
what you're doing. Yeah, clel up, people, you're not supposed
to be doing that in front of her now here. Yeah,

(01:02:49):
get get to yourself decent and uh, let's have a chat. So,
like I said, I mean, they clearly were he loved her, though,
Oh we had a funny way of showing it.

Speaker 5 (01:03:01):
Now there is such a way.

Speaker 4 (01:03:04):
I mean again, you know I've brought up before the
freak flags flying, Yeah, I mean, there are people who
you know, they they they they get got to get
they've got to get their thrills of exactly that you
know there, it's the thrill of the chase. It's it's
the it's the thrill of oh we might get caught.

Speaker 5 (01:03:19):
Okay, well, I hope we do. Well. What turns you on? More?

Speaker 2 (01:03:23):
Well?

Speaker 6 (01:03:23):
I don't that sounded weird me asking you what turns
you on and looking into your eyes?

Speaker 5 (01:03:28):
What I guess say?

Speaker 4 (01:03:29):
I mean, we're we're friends or we're good friends. I
just you know, it's one of those sometimes.

Speaker 6 (01:03:34):
Looking glance the other way when you're asking the question,
or looking at maybe maybe maybe, So what's more thrilling
pulling up and and let's just say you pulled up
into the HPD and you pulled into their parking lot, yeah,
and went pound cake in your suv or your truck, yeah,
or parking out where nobody knows. And it's like, okay, great.

(01:03:57):
I mean, if you're in a thrill seeking mode, which
one are you going to try to pull off? If
you're feeling yourself that didn't sound right either, If you
if you're if you're if you're feeling your good mojo, I.

Speaker 5 (01:04:06):
Just I don't know. It's a thriller, don't. Don't you
ever get caught Like the thrill of it.

Speaker 4 (01:04:11):
I just feel like it's a public service to you know,
keep the private things that need to be private, get
it there.

Speaker 5 (01:04:16):
But not everybody thinks that.

Speaker 6 (01:04:18):
Right, the thrill of it, it's like it's like, all
of a sudden, the love making is going to be better.

Speaker 4 (01:04:24):
To you ever, notice like the people who you don't
want to see naked are the ones who want to
get naked in front of people.

Speaker 6 (01:04:29):
Yeah, go into a male steam room. Well there's that,
and then a gym. It's like, uh, I'll be dangling
down like clackers. Remember the old HBO show Real Sex. Yeah,
they used to have that.

Speaker 4 (01:04:40):
And then you know, of course, like when you're a
young rebellious kid, you're like, oh, hey, you know, nobody's
gonna know I'm watching this, And then you quickly are like,
I don't.

Speaker 5 (01:04:46):
I don't want to watch this.

Speaker 4 (01:04:49):
Because you like they'd like go to like newdest communities
and it would just be people. That guy always shows
up into the steam room, but I'm allowed with.

Speaker 5 (01:04:56):
No towel off, dude.

Speaker 4 (01:04:58):
The amount of guys two things that always find me
stray dogs and straight naked. The amount of people exactly
that public gyms that have no idea about locker room Okay.

Speaker 5 (01:05:12):
Yes, yes, such a thing. Man and the guy.

Speaker 6 (01:05:16):
Now, I want you to visualize this while you're eating
your raising breid this morning. You walk into a steam
room at a club and the one dude that's in there,
he got the hand towel as opposed to a full
bodet and he doesn't have anything, and he's sitting on
the steam bear.

Speaker 5 (01:05:30):
You know that there's.

Speaker 6 (01:05:33):
Somebody just t bagged themselves yea, and sitting there. And
then he's the one who's at the top level leaning forward,
no towel, the hand towels for his face, not for
his you know, he is junk. And then he's probably.

Speaker 5 (01:05:50):
Seventy yeah somewhere and that's okay, I'm not, I'm not.
There is a level of reaching a certain age. You're
just like, I don't care.

Speaker 4 (01:05:57):
Right, and and it's clackers are hanging down the next
and he's the one leading over. The clackers are just
daggled down to the bottom seat, and you're like, and
then he wants to carry the conversation with you.

Speaker 5 (01:06:09):
It's like, yeah, seat that's the one that listened, and
he's the one who wants to talk. I'm just telling
you I've seen it happen. So yeah, how's that for
good morning? How's your practice this morning? How's your oat deal?

Speaker 4 (01:06:21):
I mean, that's that's one of those where you know,
it's it's a little bit on you where it's set
in bubblegum where you know you probably would help you
to have, you know, earbuds in it helped you to Hey, no, dude,
your butt naked and they're daggling down. I don't want
to see him and I'm not in the move to talk.

Speaker 5 (01:06:37):
Why your bear ass is sitting on the ceramic that
the dude who just walked out of here mm hmm
worked out for two and a half hours and he
didn't shower before he came in here either.

Speaker 4 (01:06:47):
So I one time went, I'm really horny right now. Yeah,
one time went into a steam room at the Casino
hotel we were staying out in Vegas.

Speaker 5 (01:06:54):
They had a gym and you know steam room all
that row up.

Speaker 4 (01:06:56):
Well, yeah, walked in and it was like it was
almost like kind of like the Simpsons gift with old
man Abe Simpson. You know where he walks in, puts
his hat on the rack, the walks right back out,
takes his hat off, all of that, and walked in.
And somebody very much like that where fully out there
walked in. And the guy had the nerve as like

(01:07:17):
he saw me like do like the you know about
face to walk back out because it feels good in here,
does it?

Speaker 3 (01:07:21):
I go?

Speaker 5 (01:07:22):
I'm sure it does. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:07:24):
Here, here's take three towels. Yeah, but I just I
still don't understand the hygiene thing of why you put
bear your bare ass on.

Speaker 4 (01:07:31):
Yeah. You see those stack of towels over there, you
have to take one. You can take many of them. Okay,
you can take five of them. Guess they'll want it.
Have to message they're not sure. You can always tell
the non athletes from from how they handle themselves.

Speaker 6 (01:07:43):
There is bathroom meticant and he wants to see you
walking around. Nobody doesn't as much.

Speaker 4 (01:07:49):
Uh, you know, just be a little shy in there,
that would be that would help there. It's it's just
it's knowing of eye contacts your eye, yes, or put
two towels on so I don't have to worry.

Speaker 5 (01:08:02):
Yes, yes, thank.

Speaker 4 (01:08:03):
You all of that.

Speaker 5 (01:08:04):
I don't I don't. I don't need to see the
full display. It's a dangling participle. They weren't talking about
your nizzats. Okay, I'm good without it.

Speaker 4 (01:08:12):
Man. Anyway, all right, let's get back into the astros conversation.

Speaker 5 (01:08:16):
I feel like we need a palate cleanser here, and
we go down to tap his high top tennis shoes
and you're timing you to be no, no, no, it's like,
get out of this because I don't.

Speaker 6 (01:08:28):
You've painted a picture for me now that we all
see in the men's steam room. Well, am I right now?

Speaker 1 (01:08:33):
Now?

Speaker 5 (01:08:33):
Am I right? Yes?

Speaker 4 (01:08:35):
Walking around the men's locker room? Yeah, I wonder what
ladies experiences are. Hmm, i'd have to ask, Well, we
just did. Yeah. If you want to share, please feel
free to share with the class if you like.

Speaker 5 (01:08:50):
We would love to have more. The whole story is,
don't pull up in front of a police station and
or share departments or not and do that thing. Thank you,
and you're gonna get away with it while you're blocking
their entrance.

Speaker 4 (01:09:03):
I was gonna say, I mean, thrill seeking is one thing,
but stupidity is another.

Speaker 6 (01:09:06):
And wear a talent the steam room please, guys. Yeah, yes,
if you're twenty or your ninety, please please thank you.
That's what we ask so like I said that for
your lady.

Speaker 4 (01:09:14):
Here here, here's the mental palate cleanser, the astros, the hitters.
Well there's reason to believe. We'll discuss here. It is
Sean Show, The.

Speaker 6 (01:09:25):
Shawn Salisbury Show continued. Three runs ain't gonna be much.
We're not gonna get much. She better get good pitching tonight.
If you're going in, you have to prepare that you're
facing a horse man. So we're gonna have to do
everything we can to run to do something, but we're
gonna have to keep them in low scoring two. But
you shouldn't expect too many runs out of Cincinnati with

(01:09:46):
a Hunter Brown.

Speaker 1 (01:09:47):
On the mountain.

Speaker 6 (01:09:47):
And if you're them, you know you're the opposing pitcher.
There's an extra added pressure if I let this thing
get the full runs. This team's they win a lot
of games, So you know going in the pressure that
your face because it's rare that Hunter Brown's going to
have a horrible day and he doesn't have many of them.

Speaker 4 (01:10:04):
It's Nick Martinez tonight for Cincinnati's one and three with
a four to one nine E er uh. The Astros
at home this season, hitting two fifty four with a
seven to eleven ops away two twenty nine, six forty seven.
So the batter's eye no longer an issue for mol Astro.

Speaker 5 (01:10:22):
A little bit better now, huh.

Speaker 6 (01:10:24):
So hopefully it'll containue big runs though this is you
want to wake them up and you don't want to
get a lild to sleep. Also, as a play as
a team, thinking we only need two or three with
a hundred princh pitch, and you know that thought process.
Now go go post it up and then let him
give you seven. Eight is a hardcore ninety five pitch
type hundred pitch game, and let's get out and take
care of the win tonight. But yeah, it's not only

(01:10:46):
the win, but you'd like to look You kind of
want it to look optically correct too, you know what
I mean, Dan, Where it's like eight to two, right, Yeah,
think they scrambled and got one in the third and
then got another one in the seventh, but the game
was essentially over. In the bulpen, goes Bengo Vango Bongo
and go home. He throws ninety eight pitches for seven
innings and gives up one run. Scatters four hits and

(01:11:07):
strikes out nine. That that that's what we've come to
expect from him. But if you're there, you should expect
that this is a spot starter that's going to give
up five runs. So we got we got to load
up and go and play that aggressive knowing that if
you get the five runs and a Hunter browns on
the mound, you feel pretty comfortable you're getting through this game, okay,
because I think he's subbed too right now, isn't her six?

Speaker 4 (01:11:28):
Seven?

Speaker 5 (01:11:28):
There you go on the season.

Speaker 6 (01:11:29):
I mean, if the All Star Game was tomorrow, you
got to make a real you'd have to have a
real hard time not running him.

Speaker 4 (01:11:35):
Out there first. He continues this run that he's on
Brett Brett Boone. Well, Brett Boone is coaching again with
the Rangers, but Aaron Boone is going to have a
real tough time not looking the Hunter Brown. How amazing
would that be Yankees manager having to pick an astro
to be his All Star game starter?

Speaker 6 (01:11:51):
And he would probably even though he may not like
the Astros, but I would imagine that he watches Hunter
Brown and.

Speaker 5 (01:11:57):
Say this, dude, this is a dog.

Speaker 4 (01:11:59):
Yeah, if he tried to, you know, oh the astros.
Hunter Brown would just be like, yeah, dude, I was
a junior in high school.

Speaker 5 (01:12:04):
Yeah, it doesn't care.

Speaker 6 (01:12:05):
And just like Sigod, it's like bo junior high and
Boon smart enough to know that too. He's an SC trojan,
please be smart.

Speaker 5 (01:12:12):
Enough to do that. That's sure great.

Speaker 4 (01:12:14):
Yeah, yeah, well you know sometimes what was it just
right after me? You know, intelligence are our class, you know,
not accounting for taste, and some some people slipped through
the cracks once in a while, not people like you
and Nick Scurfield.

Speaker 5 (01:12:27):
Careful, careful, that's right.

Speaker 6 (01:12:29):
Second shot, the Boone family, Pops Pops all of Boone,
a lot of Trojans in that family.

Speaker 5 (01:12:34):
Yeah, playing playing for old Rod Dato.

Speaker 4 (01:12:36):
Damn right there you go. The Pops knows about.

Speaker 5 (01:12:38):
That for sure. So for sure it was.

Speaker 4 (01:12:41):
It was on the list of like, you know, college
baseball growing up, wanted to play college baseball. I was like, man,
how awesome would it be to play at SC?

Speaker 5 (01:12:49):
That was a fortunate times.

Speaker 2 (01:12:50):
Man.

Speaker 6 (01:12:50):
We had some pretty good teams. And when you got
McGuire and Randy Johnson on your in the same grade,
I got to enjoy those guys for a while. They
may go into the Trojans to our field. They're very
pretty fun man. Yeah, and it was good baseball.

Speaker 4 (01:13:04):

ten day stint, you know, on the I L then
does your concern liars it? Are you a day to
day concern guy, or is it okay this strain or
this muscles. We're still calling it a strain. That's what
that Yeah, a soft tissue, soft tissue. So I'm just

(01:13:35):
wondering where your level a concern is for him, if,
in fact, you get to that point and he has.

Speaker 4 (01:13:41):

Hello?

Speaker 4 (01:20:57):
Yes, oh okay, hey.

Speaker 1 (01:21:01):
You know Sean, yesterday you interviewed the general manager of
the ass I was thinking about what you asked him,
and I'm thinking, well, one.

Speaker 4 (01:21:12):
Of those guys got to go.

Speaker 1 (01:21:14):
If you see so that you asked him about Zach
Decenzo and he's hitting and I brought this up when
I didn't like how Christian Walker was doing, and he
sees him Decenzo is one of the future cornerstones of
the Astros, and as he looks right now, I would

(01:21:35):
say I agree. Now he sees him as a left
fielder or a first baseman, so that means you've got
to get rid of one of those to put him
in there on a full time basis.

Speaker 5 (01:21:47):
Yeah, the question that the question for that is Brad Winn,
right Win.

Speaker 1 (01:21:52):
Yeah, you can't keep playing games with Decenzo all. I
mean maybe this year, but you want to keep doing
that for the next three years. I don't see Walker
staying around. I don't think they're getting rid of about two.

Speaker 5 (01:22:04):
A well, al.

Speaker 6 (01:22:07):
Two is going to be he won't be an Astro
when he decides to retire because he's not going to
be playing anywhere else. It comes down to when is
the time ready to get Decenzo there and is it
first base?

Speaker 5 (01:22:18):
And is Walker?

Speaker 4 (01:22:19):
Uh?

Speaker 6 (01:22:20):
Descenzo's job is to make it miserable on them not
to play him. And if he does that, then they
will find a spot for him, and it may not
be at either one of those positions.

Speaker 5 (01:22:28):
For now.

Speaker 6 (01:22:29):
Christian Walker understands that as well, and get it done well.
It's the old tsh.

Speaker 4 (01:22:33):
Yeah, you hit, they'll find a place for you to play.

Speaker 6 (01:22:37):
And you don't sit on that bench very long, and
your platoons become a lot shorter for sure, and you
find your way playing one hundred and forty of them
instead of one hundred and ten of them, right, or
one hundred of them. So Decenzo that that's his gig.
Make it miserable on them not to play you. And
when you do that, that's a good thing. That's a
good problem to have as an organization.

Speaker 4 (01:22:54):
Absolutely, it's better to have ten than nine, even though
you can only play nine, all right. One of the
concerns that we might have with the astros will air
those out here. It is a Sean Salisbury Show eight
o'clock hour coming up right here, Sean Salisbury Show.

Speaker 8 (01:23:09):

Speaker 5 (01:23:50):
And we got one of our.

Speaker 4 (01:23:52):
Good buddies, Kenny from nine to fifty dropping by to
chastise you about ketch up on a hot dog.

Speaker 5 (01:23:58):
Kenny webs through there, but no, not to be confused
with Kenny Duncan Jr.

Speaker 6 (01:24:03):
You know Michael Barry's guy, you know us coins. Yeah,
Kenny duncan Can, But it's not Kenny. It's Kenna Ken
Kenned Duncan Jr. And he got Kenny Webster. I call
him Kenny Webster Junior sometimes. Do you think he's a junior?

Speaker 4 (01:24:17):
Not sure?

Speaker 5 (01:24:19):
Kenny Webster Junior.

Speaker 4 (01:24:20):
I feel like if you have that afforded to you,
you're you're doing yourself a disservice if you don't use it. Yeah,
we have the new phenomenon of the seniors naming themselves
seniors Steve Smith Senior.

Speaker 6 (01:24:34):
To make sure you do your fools better recognized. You
know what I'm saying, right, Kenny, Kenny Webster's tripping though,
because I told him I put ketchup on the dog
once in a while.

Speaker 4 (01:24:44):
And he's like, because he's a Chicago guy, yeah, which
it is.

Speaker 6 (01:24:47):
It's a sin now, and he's he's excited the new
pope Chicago guys, he's now going to proclaim that it's
a sin to put ketchup on your Chicago dog.

Speaker 4 (01:24:57):
But he last night on the Twitter posting like a
picture of like a nondescript like US road and like
a small town, and it's like the Pope is now
going to make, you know, the Vatican look like this
and it's like McDonald's and like an Exxon and a
pizza hut.

Speaker 5 (01:25:14):
Oh yeah, class, yeah, you like you can be refined
from Chicago. Sure, abslutely damn right.

Speaker 4 (01:25:22):
So first, yeah, white smoke flies can get a first
US born pope. Interesting, which, by the way, and we'll
get into the Jordan stuff here in a second. But
did you notice that did you even know that the
Pirates fired their manager? Yesterday?

Speaker 5 (01:25:37):
I did?

Speaker 4 (01:25:37):
But did you see when they fired him? So as
shortly as it was it in time? Was it during
the pope's Yeah, it was balcony shortly after eleven o'clock.
Is when we saw the white smoke come out, and
everybody there in the Vatican starts losing their minds.

Speaker 5 (01:25:52):
And how many million? How many people were in a tenants?
I think they said like one hundred and fifty thousand people.

Speaker 6 (01:25:57):
Well millions obviously we're watching, right, but it looked when
you say, what's a million, it looked like that there's more.

Speaker 5 (01:26:03):
People than it.

Speaker 4 (01:26:03):
Michael Buffer tells you how things like this go for
the thousands in attendance and the millions watching around the world.
I don't think I get sued for saying that part.
I think it's the next part that I I I yeah, yeah,
I think so. And then even his half brother Bruce,
I think if you if you say his UFC one,
then then you've got to do something so we'll steer clear.

(01:26:24):
But yeah, they so shortly after about eleven o'clock is
when we had white smoke, which one of the people
who was one of the first to throw out throw
it out. And I'm not even saying that he was
on it, but Adam Schefter was how I saw it first,
and then I loved how he handled it, like the
draft is. Once we knew the pick is in, like
they do for the draft nice and for the lower

(01:26:46):
third right on the ticker, right. And for this one
it was Father Bob out of you know, the cardinal
out of Chicago.

Speaker 5 (01:26:51):
Anybody his buddy's call him Bobby probably.

Speaker 4 (01:26:55):
I'm sure he probably has some that are from you know,
the old neighborhood there, Job and Bud.

Speaker 6 (01:27:00):
He's from like the main streets, Esco. They call him Roberto,
maybe from my hometown. Maybe he is fluent, Yeah, and
in Roberto, I mean that's what you know, That's that's
what my peeps in my hometown called, right, So just curious,
that's nice.

Speaker 5 (01:27:14):
I'm anxious to see. I don't know much about this.
I mean, I don't know if we know much about
the candidates anyway, you know, but I don't know much
more than what the protocol that goes into it. You know,
how they have to live their life to be qualified
to do this, and all those things got to be
celibate past your nineteenth birthday. And when you take the
cloth on, you can no longer. You can't. You're not

(01:27:36):
held against you if you're a teenager and stuff, but
you know, went through your repentance process.

Speaker 6 (01:27:40):
I was just looking at some of the pro really
some of the things that we probably don't know a
lot about, but the protocol of because I think people wonder.
You know, you see a lot of religious leaders married
in different religions, right because a man and woman. But
with you know, the celibacy, that's all that's almost a
lifetime of commitment to see when it's I'm not telling

(01:28:01):
anything anybody, they don't know, but I think some people wonder.

Speaker 5 (01:28:04):
And I had a buddy of mine yesterday said, pope married, No. No,
once you take the cloth, I think, priest, bishop and cloth,
and then obviously is the pope. Once you make that decision,
you have to be selibate the rest of your life.

Speaker 4 (01:28:18):
It's like the guy that Fox News will put on
every once in a while, Jonathan Morris. I think like
he got out of the cloth because he wanted to
do that.

Speaker 5 (01:28:25):
Right, and now he is. That's exactly right. But why
you're in it? You you you know, and not to
follow that. I don't know if they call it excommunication
or this fellowship. I don't know how with what the
verbiage they use, but yeah, that's a that's a that's
a long time, that's that's committed to walking and talking
with the Lord and not having any distraction.

Speaker 6 (01:28:44):
And I don't think a lot of people. If I
asked ten thousand people, what do you think most of
them would say, not sure?

Speaker 5 (01:28:49):
Is the Pope married it up? But then it makes
sense because when's you know, once I was telling I said,
I asked, I told my buddy, so, when's the last
time you ever saw the pope with a female? Meaning
with the significance you never have anything. You just have
to think backstage here. Yeah, yeah, that's exactly right, no
question about it. So so may not know, but yeah,
that's a lifelong commitment of celibacy, and it looks like
I'm going to have a pretty good run with the

(01:29:11):
American born pope for the first time. Yeah. Like I'm Catholic,
so I know, yeah, you probably know. You probably know
more about the depth of them. Do they teach you
the protocol of the pope when you're the Catholic like
a high school?

Speaker 4 (01:29:22):
I'm sure they did, but I must have you know,
everybody over there at Saint Thomas shout out to all y'all,
but well did he did despite my efforts? Your efforts
were great. It was not you, it was me. Yeah,
because I would want to.

Speaker 6 (01:29:40):
I would imagine at some point, whether it's junior higher
high school, when you're if you're in the Catholic school system,
I would imagine or the you know that the person
who's leading the church, I would imagine we know the
pro because I don't know most Americans, I guarantee you
would not know the protocol of how to get to
that point, right, And I'm not even sure the ones
that know.

Speaker 5 (01:30:01):
No, does that make sense? Sure? So yeah, man, it's uh,
it's interesting, but you must have missed that day.

Speaker 4 (01:30:07):
A religious scholar, I'm not, you know, I definitely love
my religion, you know, religion, the Gospel some right. You
know who's probably really excited about yesterday is Macky Mock.
You know he always does those videos like on Sundays,
Prayer it Up, that's it on Sunday.

Speaker 5 (01:30:23):
You know you get on Instagram. Yeah yeah, yeah, Chris
Pratt too, But.

Speaker 4 (01:30:27):
What's it called. It's called the prayer Prayer Apple Hollow Hello, yeah, Hello,
hello yeah yeah. And then you know you get Marky
Mark there, Hey, what's going on? Good Sunday here?

Speaker 5 (01:30:38):
You know, yeah, doing doing the sign. He calls him
up and asks Pratt if he wants to stay prayed up.
I want to join him.

Speaker 4 (01:30:44):
Oh we've got a new pope there.

Speaker 5 (01:30:45):
You got about that?

Speaker 6 (01:30:46):
Yeah, that's again. He's not here, and the only thing
for better with him would if the Boston Pope. He
was born in Boston, in the US Pope.

Speaker 4 (01:30:53):
I feel like Donnie Wahlberg leans into the Boston side
more than Marky Mark does, so I think, so, yeah,
like embrace it. He's a big time I mean, and
he's he's also to the one with he and Jenny McCarthy.
They're sitting court side at Celtic games there there's yeah, yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:31:11):
Probably probably back there cooking him once in a while,
you know, jumping back in their little elbow grease with
the people who own it. Sure, And he'll be at
the He's always at the Seacrest thing on New York.
You know, he'll be up there and he and Jenny
McCarthy will be.

Speaker 5 (01:31:22):
Co hosting it.

Speaker 4 (01:31:23):
Right.

Speaker 5 (01:31:24):
Oh yeah, he's a he's a he's a good burger.
Dick Clark and his Ryan Seacrest.

Speaker 4 (01:31:29):
I called that from a mile away with Seacrest. There's
no doubt. When when Dick Clark passed printing money, I said,
I said, you know people, Oh, you know, who will
be the next Dick Clark. I was like, what you
are been established? I was gonna say. I was like,
he's standing right in front of it. You knew that
was sure was a no brainer? Was fortune?

Speaker 6 (01:31:47):
Now, yeah, you know he is, he is this company.
He's mister residual income down the road. Dude, Dude, when
what do they call it? When they when they've you know,
they'll have the show on and then it goes to syndication. Dude,
you haven't even the money he's making right now in print.

(01:32:08):
He's he is media. I mean, the dude has got it.
He has got it cornered because he owns like production
teams out too. So oh yeah, it's no doubt. But
oh there's no doubt. Donnie Wahlberg is Boston through and
through the Blue Blood Show.

Speaker 4 (01:32:22):
Donnie.

Speaker 6 (01:32:22):
I think Donnie lives that even though he's got a
cop you know, the feeling of I think he's in
he is is involved in that Boston. That's that Boston
feel for him.

Speaker 4 (01:32:31):
Absolutely no doubt. Now he absolutely leans into it with Seacrest.
You know they talk about mailbox money. It's so much
money that you can't put it in the mailbox.

Speaker 6 (01:32:40):
Oh dude, he can't. He can't spend it. All the
money you think he's making on his salary from doing
it when he was doing the talk show with with
before her husband started joining her.

Speaker 5 (01:32:49):
What's the used to do with?

Speaker 6 (01:32:50):
Just Kelly Rippag he took over for two American institutes.
That's what I'm saying. It is all that base salary stuff.
It's all the buddy's making behind the scenes by owning
production companies, and dude, he can't spend it.

Speaker 5 (01:33:04):
He can't.

Speaker 6 (01:33:05):
It's you're backing that truck up weekly. He doesn't even
know what's in a mailbox.

Speaker 4 (01:33:09):
There's some money he has that he doesn't even know
that he has. That's a guaran and he just made
more as we did just now. I'm sure even.

Speaker 6 (01:33:16):
I'm sure there's some over in them somewhere that's making
money off everybody talking.

Speaker 5 (01:33:20):
That's right, no doubt.

Speaker 6 (01:33:22):
I don't knock the hustle man, look you it. Yeah,
Oh hell no. The greatest money in the world. There's
two types consultant money or you're like a consulting You're like,
what does the guy do well? He pays a million dollars.
I don't know what that means, but it's a good
gig and residual income slash slash royalties you know when

(01:33:42):
you're when you're you know, one of those royalties from
the show you own the production years later, like Mark
Harmon with the MC I dude, he's like one of
the main guys. He'ld be printing money forever. J Throw Gibbs.
That's exactly right. So he's want right now he goes
that mailboxes. He had to put triple the mailbox to
hold some of that money, those checks that come in there.

Speaker 4 (01:34:03):
If somebody else goes to the mailbox for him, probably
that's what it is. It may be the case he
steps out of his house. He's stepping out of his
house to get into the car drivers driving it. You know.

Speaker 6 (01:34:13):
See, I'd like to have the money to have that opportunity,
but I'm still driving myself, you know, in less it's
to the airport or somewhere I got to go where
I got to believe it. I'm not if I'm worth
the lawn musk money. I'm still driving myself to work
and driving a truck and doing what I do.

Speaker 5 (01:34:27):
I've set up before. If I ever won the lottery.

Speaker 4 (01:34:29):
You guys would not know, but they'll give you, yeah,
give you heads, but like you would not know.

Speaker 5 (01:34:35):
I would just try to show up and just be
that same gay change by I'm a truck all right,
I'm with you.

Speaker 4 (01:34:43):
I'm not.

Speaker 6 (01:34:44):
I'm not changing, but I'll tell you what, and I'm
going to the grocery store and doing all that stuff
that I still do. But it'd be a little probably
a bigger smile on your fare buy that stake. So
what's the cost, Well, they probably don't look at prices
when you're making that kind of money.

Speaker 4 (01:34:57):
Well, it's like comedian Brian Collen has a line of
you know, how much money do you need enough to
be able to go to a restaurant not worry about
ordering anything on the menu?

Speaker 6 (01:35:05):
Yeah, or enough to buy the restaurant even if if
you want it. That makes sense. That's even better. You're
like Christian bale Is Batman. Yeah, nobody's bought this place.

Speaker 4 (01:35:12):
Yeah exactly, but I'm not going to, but just to
I can, just to know you can.

Speaker 5 (01:35:16):
You don't need to tell anybody work in silence, right, Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:35:19):
Mark Mark Cuban used to have that in him, but
you know he doesn't because he was on an episode
of Entourage where went and met about the tequila company
and then the guy was like, you know what if
I just bought your company? Cuban was the guy's like,
it's not for sale. He goes, oh, yes it is.

Speaker 6 (01:35:33):
Yeah, I told him, with everything's for so But I
asked him one time in person, We've DoD an interview
with him. I said, what's it like going to I
think he was in It was Dan and I at ESPN.
He was in town to do something right, And I asked,
I said, what's it like when you when you first
sold that company?

Speaker 5 (01:35:47):
Manute? What was it or even out with all your wealth?
I said, what's it like on the atam?

Speaker 6 (01:35:54):
And you know what he said? And I'll paraphrase, but
this is about as close as I could say without
quoting him. Yeah, he said it is, but it was
he was being funny. But he said sometimes, like when
he first got it, he'd go there and there's a
lot of money in it, and he'd leave the the
receipt for the person behind him and didn't kind of
stand off to the side, say because you know we
all read it. You know when you pull it out

(01:36:14):
and you read the person aide tack.

Speaker 4 (01:36:16):
Oh that he said, he said.

Speaker 5 (01:36:17):
No, but he wasn't doing a regular he said, but
that was it was a true question, just to see response.
And I get why he'd do that, not not to
tell him who he is, but try to walk away
when it first happens. Right, you go from I'm selling
this broadcast company that you did and he said, he said, yeah,
I was taking this like peek over my shoulder and
see what the reaction is. There's eighteen million dollars or
whatever it was.

Speaker 4 (01:36:38):
I said, I get you doing that a couple of times.

Speaker 5 (01:36:40):
Fine, and how the initial like man ever without telling them, right, Oh,
I forgot my receipt, but just just for this year.
It's not it doesn't say twenty seven dollars I did
when we were in college, right, So that was he
wasn't being it like ergant. But it's like, because I
wanted to know when you get that first one, he
spend it, what do you do?

Speaker 3 (01:36:57):
Right?

Speaker 4 (01:36:58):
And when he said, I said so, I thought, well,
what's it like? You go to ATM and you see
the you see the balance. So yeah, sometimes I'd walk
and look over my shoulder and leave their re seat
there just as he would look at it, I was like, okay, man.

Speaker 6 (01:37:09):
He made out even ever tell us, But I remember
it vividly because I was like, what a great story,
Because if I was behind, I would look at it
and not even knowing who it was. And even if
it's like eight hundred thousand dollars like forty seven point five,
it's like whoa, yeah, just to see what the reaction
on their face would be.

Speaker 5 (01:37:26):
It's like Rory real quick.

Speaker 4 (01:37:27):
Rory McElroy had a similar story when he first started,
you know, as a pro that you know, he wasn't
really aware of like all the money and taxes and
everything like that. But he said that he once went
to an ATM and he just did the whole like
check your balance thing and he goes, oh, and he
said once he saw that there was you know, multiple
commas in there, he was like, okay, I'll go buy

(01:37:48):
a watch.

Speaker 5 (01:37:48):
Yeah, that's it's kind of when it comes real. Yeah,
it's like that's my balance. This is this is a
mistake made by the bank. Yeah, I actually made five
million golf part of it, right, Yeah, pretty cool. There
there are many.

Speaker 6 (01:38:00):
Like it, but this one his mom, well Mark was
standing on the side looking. He just said, once a
peek back and see leave it in there? Of course tacky. Yeah,
but oh and who is who of the billionaires hasn't
done something on tacky at some point? Yeah, as long
as he didn't say, yeah, I made a living do
it at standing over there watching him. No, but I said,
what's kind of a And I said, come on, what's
it look like?

Speaker 4 (01:38:20):
He goes, well, I gotta admit, and he said it,
and I was like, yeah, that's a classic line.

Speaker 5 (01:38:24):
Man, Yeah, good stuff, Mark Cuban, what happened to you?

Speaker 4 (01:38:26):
Man? All right, Charlie Tony al see you guys right there. Also,
we've back into the astros conversation here. As we continue

Speaker 12 (01:38:49):
Yes, and uh hello, first time callor to your Sean's show.
I think I've called Matt Thomas one time, but Matt
had connections to Saint Thomas, and I just I've only
been listening for about fifteen minutes, but I think I
heard Dan. You said you went to Saint Thomas. I

(01:39:10):
don't know how old you are, but when did you
go there?

Speaker 5 (01:39:13):
I graduated?

Speaker 4 (01:39:14):
Oh four?

Speaker 12 (01:39:16):
Okay, was that at the same time when maybe Craig
Biggio was coaching.

Speaker 4 (01:39:20):
So Bigio took over I think in seven. And I
remember when he got hired because I was listening to
MLB Network radio at the time and they said Hall
of Famer are not Hall of Famer at the time,
but Craig Biggio now the head baseball coach at Saint
Thomas High School in Houston, And I was like, what,
So I missed him by a few years, but I've
met him a hand full of times.

Speaker 5 (01:39:40):
Great guy.

Speaker 4 (01:39:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (01:39:42):
Well my sons, one of them has gone there, and
one goes there now, and my wife teaches there, so
I've got a lot. So I had just intrigued me
by saying that, and I'm going tonight and I'm going
again next Wednesday. But to the Astros came back yes
the way, Dan, Yeah, I'll to hear that. And I

now right there at the awesome law Enforcement Complex. But no,
I was mentioning Stephen coming shout out him. He's the
alumni guy over there. And I got to know when
they're going to do the Astros game this year, and
if I'm there, you're there, please come over and say hello.

Speaker 6 (01:40:46):
All right, thank you, awesome, Thanks Charlie, appreciate it. Fight
never dies. I love Coach Maguire, the head football coach.
I've trained a handful of quarterbacks over the years from there,
from Michael Keating and and just through the times. And
I have a new current one that's just it's going
to school there in the fall. He's a young kid
who is a friggin monster. He's big, physical, he hasn't

(01:41:12):
h high school yet and throw in the eighties, I understand,
and he is a hard work and he's gonna have
his choice.

Speaker 5 (01:41:18):
I think he's a dual threat.

Speaker 4 (01:41:20):
Monster parents are phenomenal people, and he going to Saint Thomas,
which I'm excited for him because I know he's going
to be extremely well coached.

Speaker 6 (01:41:26):
And he was where he was was he well coached
as well. But yeah, that's my affiliation with that great school.
I've been fortunate to coach quite a few players that
have come through there, and man Alive is a good
program in that baseball facility. Obviously, it's nice and coach
maguire just the whole thing about it. It's awesome. And
I'm proud of my guys that have gone through there
because you know, at the academics and athletics and the
way they play. I've had some fun times on that

(01:41:48):
campus watching those guys play good football.

Speaker 4 (01:41:49):
Yeah, shout outs coach Malziati baseball coach. Although San Antonio
Central Catholic just got over on them in the playoffs,
that's okay, we got them and we disrupt their perfect season.
We want to know four so take that, But who's
count right now? Aunt? Absolutely, But like I said, forty
five hundred Memorial Drive Forever Man.

Speaker 5 (01:42:10):
Eagle fight never dies.

Speaker 6 (01:42:11):
Eagle fight never You know, what I've noticed was that
I moved here, that eagle fight never dies.

Speaker 3 (01:42:15):
No.

Speaker 4 (01:42:16):
And you know the funny thing is too is you
want to know people at Strake Jesuit saying well, that's
where I was going? Is you you want to know?
You know how much better Saint Thomas is and Strake Jesuit.
You wouldn't even exist without Saint Thomas. Oh. George Strake,
the founder of Strake Jesuit, not to be confused with
George Straight. Yes, yeah, a k e at the end
for him, the man who founded Straight Jesuit, Saint Thomas Graduate.

(01:42:40):
So wat you want you want to try to start
sharking people, We can start sharking people. If you want
to go that route. You want to go this route,
we can go that route.

Speaker 5 (01:42:48):
You're slinging strays early on the Straight Jesuit thing, of course,
I am man.

Speaker 4 (01:42:53):
Man, it almost feels sacked. Who wants to keep driving
down to you know, bell or Boulevard to go to
some RinkyDink school when you can go to a heritage school.

Speaker 5 (01:43:03):
Whoa almost feels a little racist? Maybe I don't know how,
but triplely done it. I'm not sure how, but let's
weave that in there, just to make it, just make
it a bigger.

Speaker 4 (01:43:13):
Look.

Speaker 5 (01:43:13):
Look, somebody's got to be better and then somebody's got
to be lesser. So if a strike calls in here,
what will they say?

Speaker 4 (01:43:20):
Oh there, they'll they'll probably get us with scoreboard and
all that on the football.

Speaker 6 (01:43:24):
The scoreboard they had it, they had it for years.
I'll give them that. Hell of a rivalry, isn't it.
Absolutely you, I mean you just ate it. You're you're
ready to fight. Oh I got boiled up for those games.

Speaker 5 (01:43:35):
Yeah, you fight right now? Good people, man.

Speaker 4 (01:43:39):
I also I also know that some of my good
buddies who went to straight there, I'm gonna start getting.

Speaker 5 (01:43:43):
Texted, so they gotta start punching.

Speaker 4 (01:43:45):
What about?

Speaker 6 (01:43:47):
Yeah you know that what I blocked you on the edge.
Yeah that's gop. Yeah I love it. Yeah they're all there.
Oh yeah what got the girl? You didn't? Well that's
probably true.

Speaker 4 (01:43:56):
Well let's put it this way.

Speaker 6 (01:43:57):
That programs and those programs and are really good shape there.
Oh yeah, it's a good place.

Speaker 4 (01:44:03):
So absolutely and and Strake, Yeah, you've you've had a
few good things.

Speaker 6 (01:44:07):
There's there's some of us mere mortals. So we're just
able to go to public schools.

Speaker 5 (01:44:11):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 6 (01:44:12):
Dan, are you whoa?

Speaker 5 (01:44:16):
I had some friends there too. Fine, Hey, Triple are
you a pro public or private school guy?

Speaker 4 (01:44:22):
Public?

Speaker 2 (01:44:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:44:23):
See some of us mere minions like TRIPLEY and I
that you know that you guys judge because we didn't.

Speaker 4 (01:44:29):
You know, we don't judge.

Speaker 6 (01:44:30):
Yeah, we're just we're just simple public school guys, Triple A.
You know, just simple simple grinders, public school grinders in
the public school thing here too, walk three miles, walk
three miles up the hill in the snow every day
to get to school. Like my brother played for Rocky Air.

Speaker 4 (01:44:47):
There you go, it's right Beller there.

Speaker 5 (01:44:48):
He's on the ninety four state championship team. There you go.

Speaker 4 (01:44:51):
Yeah, so you know, some kids go to Lamar, some
kids go to bell Air. The better ones go to
bell Air. It's it's that's those are the rules. I
don't really lines and the I don't make them stones. Man,
I'm telling you.

Speaker 5 (01:45:03):
There you get there's there's some brawls way down and
we will get a call from somebody who went to
one of those ready for him.

Speaker 4 (01:45:09):
Yeah, I am firm in my convictions. Sir, there you go.
What's your guys?

Speaker 5 (01:45:13):
Theme that you said again? Eagle fight never dies. The
eagle fight never dies.

Speaker 4 (01:45:17):
You know. We also have the the alma mater Mina
Saint Thomas stand for all to see, honor, truth and understanding.
Our motto will always be these days we stand together,
will cherish till we die, because the world must know
that we are the men of Saint Thomas.

Speaker 5 (01:45:29):
High. Wow. I mean, look at you anywhere in the
USC Trojan shirts.

Speaker 6 (01:45:35):
Here we go, fight on for old. See that's it.
Dan's cut. Dan threw down the gauntlet. Let's see what
you got.

Speaker 4 (01:45:41):
I don't.

Speaker 5 (01:45:41):
I don't duck smoke.

Speaker 4 (01:45:42):
There you go.

Speaker 6 (01:45:43):
You want to bring it? Is there too much of
it out there for you? Are you're gonna be able
to stand with stand?

Speaker 4 (01:45:47):
Hey? Hey, hey, these checks will cash? Okay, all right,
there's plenty of money in the bank. So you're telling
me you're you're, you're, you don't believe me. Come challenge
me for it.

Speaker 5 (01:45:55):
You say, your ass isn't cashing, is it? Your your
ass isn't right and checks that your mouth can't catch.

Speaker 4 (01:45:59):
Oh, I got that wwe money in the bank briefcase
with me. You want it, you come find it? There
you go, let's go. Where's my freank jesuits at Yeah,
all you crusaders, all you lamar whatever they are now
you know, come come find me, Come find me. I
got something find That's it. That's it. You know you
know where to find me. Tony al get you guys
in also too. Like I said, we still got some

(01:46:21):
more to chew on with the Astros thoughts. Oh yes,
extends if it extends past this deadline. What you're thinking
about immediately right here? Shawn Salisbury Show, The Sewn Salisbury
Show continued. Somebody finally got to Bill and said, remember

(01:46:41):
I even brought it up Sean where I was like,
it is like, what would what would Nick Saban say
to Bill?

Speaker 5 (01:46:47):
Like if they talk about this?

Speaker 4 (01:46:49):
Really good friends almost brothers to a certain point, Like
don't you think that that Nick would finally just be like, Bill,
what are you doing?

Speaker 1 (01:46:56):
Man?

Speaker 6 (01:46:57):
You would think so if you're a good friend, you
tell what they do want to hear and what they
don't want to hear. What they need to hear is
supposed to what they want every now and then you
can put your arm rount on what they want to hear.
But good friends tell you what you need to hear. Man,
And I can't fathom that at some point in time
somebody didn't whisper in his ear, you know, worry. I mean,
obviously you got to deal with He may not be
happy with what you're about to tell him, but in

(01:47:18):
the long run, he'll probably be. You'll be the first
to hug him if it turns out the way that
unfortunately that some people think it's going to turn out
for Bill. And when you use the word band that's harsh.
The question is, now, how's Belichick going to take it himself?
But she can't be I mean she can come, you know,
after after a game you're down there seeing your guy

(01:47:39):
and the rest of it. You can't immerse yourself into
the program so much that the story is about you
and not about the program. And if it's full on
true that this is happening, it won't be the last
you hear of it, because it won't be the last
time she talks about it. But in truth, if you're
just talking about the focus of the program, helicopter stuff
doesn't work.

Speaker 5 (01:47:58):
You can't do it.

Speaker 4 (01:47:59):
I'm just thinking of like brash coaches out there, like
Lane comes to mind right here. You know, you beat
you n C Forty nine to ten handshake. I think
he's got enough respect for Bill. They wouldn't want to
say anything yet. But I mean, what if there was
a coach out there that just said, you know what,
we're going to prove a point here and then afterwards
shake his hand and say, see how to your lady
for me?

Speaker 5 (01:48:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:48:18):
Well, maybe North Carolina by getting out in front of
it before the scene starts, has prevented that. You'd have
to have big balls in Cowtown to do that to
Belichick and and not expect something in return.

Speaker 5 (01:48:29):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 6 (01:48:30):
I don't know what it is, and Bill may just
look at you different, but he I feel like he's
a private scorekeeper.

Speaker 5 (01:48:36):
Let's put it down.

Speaker 6 (01:48:38):
You better, you better have some awful good security and
confidence to waltz across the field after you beat him
down and throw that phrase on him. I doubt somebody
do that because of the the the rarefied air and
the rare where he's touched. As a coach, you'd probably
be more than likely to go over there and not

(01:48:58):
even bring up that and say, man, what an honor
it's been to coach against you or whatever, and man,
loved your work or whatever it is. Without being sarcastic
or without being self righteous, probably just shake the hand
and give him an admiration.

Speaker 1 (01:49:11):
You know that.

Speaker 4 (01:49:12):
You know where that would come. That would come as
the uh oh, hey, somebody just happened to be recording
in the locker room. Somebody just happened to be going
live on Instagram, and that's you know, the coaches up there.

Speaker 6 (01:49:24):
Told you we'd kick their Yeah, his girl ain't helping
their program. Oh yeah, and you're just doing it to
fire your team up. And then all of a sudden
you got to call up Bill and say, dude, I'm sorry, Hey,
you got you.

Speaker 4 (01:49:33):
Guys not only went eleven on eleven and kicked their ass,
we beat his ass and we beat his girlfriend's. Well
maybe you don't want to say that last part, yeah,
but you get my point.

Speaker 6 (01:49:40):
Yeah, yeah, there was twelve people we beat instead of
just eleven anything, right, Yeah, there's no doubt, but that's
probably one of the dudes you'd probably tread a little
lightly around just for.

Speaker 5 (01:49:51):
The sake of your own career.

Speaker 6 (01:49:52):
They might not be a bad idea to just uh win,
win humbly when you're playing Belichick.

Speaker 4 (01:49:58):
And that's like, you know, you're talking about private scorekeepers.
Nick Saban definitely a private scorekeeper. Is that it was
on good authority that remember the video that got out
after LSU beat them in Tuscaloosa in nineteen Joe Burrow
and all them, and that was the famous ed osroon
roll Todd what you know and you know fu And

(01:50:19):
the following year it was pretty much well known of Hey,
you guys are kind of struggling right now, we're going
to make sure that you struggle.

Speaker 6 (01:50:26):
Oh yeah, Oh, there's no doubt. Did that's the all
they didn't want none that.

Speaker 4 (01:50:32):
There is no doubt that Nick Saban has not missed
a quip or quote that he can use against the
team without talking about it and making sure it's applied
with the way he coached. There's no doubt. Those aren't
really all the great player scorekeepers. Michael Jordan was, Oh.

Speaker 5 (01:50:48):
Yeah, it was even just for a guy saying to
him and he said that pissed me off.

Speaker 6 (01:50:52):
Oh that's what I'm saying. I'm going for thirty plus bird.
Those guys are Those guys are Wayne Gretzky. Those guys
are major scorekeepers because they got to have when you're
that good, you got to have something that drives you
when you get like, okay, what else can just get
me over the top. Oh yeah, I remember when that
dude said I shouldn't have been or you know, in
the case of Ricky Fowler, he's gonna do it now.

(01:51:13):
I think in twenty fifteen last time he won, maybe
the Players Championship or was remember when he yeah, and.

Speaker 5 (01:51:19):
Or it was a PGA maybe it was. He got close.

Speaker 6 (01:51:22):
It was part of his game when they called him
overrated and he went on that week and played great. Well,
he's been labeled by most of his most overrated player
on golf, which is everybody likes him, but because he's
so hyped but he isn't winning much. He got a
laid invite to the PGA Championship and so it's a
you know, one of those because he wasn't qualified, you
had to get a sponsor's invite, and pg Championship invited him.

(01:51:44):
Yeah yeah, and so it's like, well, you know, back
then people call me overright, It worked out pretty good then,
so that you never know with the scorekeepers, what that
driving force is that turns their career around, and we've
seen it plenty of times. Yeah, I wouldn't. I wouldn't
let Belichick that score at me. If you beat him
on the scoreboard, just shake the hand and keep it moving,
because it looks like North Carolina's trying to get out

(01:52:06):
in front of this and probably should have done this
beforehand when they saw that she was pretty much dictating
everything he did because he she she I mean, the
perception is she stripped his manhood. Honestly, that's that that
that is the perception. And with Belichick, that's one hundred
and eighty degrees from the way you viewed him in
New England. They needed to stop that quickly.

Speaker 4 (01:52:24):
I'm almost wondering if the family stepped into because remember
I told you about the daughter in law saying something
like I'm wondering if the kids finally said, you know, hey, dad,
we need to talk Jordan, not you, We need to
talk to him.

Speaker 5 (01:52:36):
Yeah, and maybe now we'll see what happens in relationship
with the truth matters. She she should supportive, but you're
not supposed to be the talk of the campus. You're
not the coach he is.

Speaker 4 (01:52:47):
Well, especially on that campus too, because it's what happens
in the Smith Center, not not over at the football stadium.

Speaker 5 (01:52:53):
You're on real quick.

Speaker 4 (01:52:54):
I mean, you know, we got Tony and now we'll
work you guys into the conversation. But I mean, just
based off what Dina said yesterday, I'm not concerned.

Speaker 5 (01:53:04):
I'm not either.

Speaker 6 (01:53:04):
That's why I'm saying I'm not concerned about jord on
the length of it at all, because it felt like
you said, he's coming around, he's starting to feel better.
The lingering part does, the reoccurring part of a smart
tissue that does. But I'm just wondering if it goes longer,
how long in our minds if they say, okay, it's
fifteen days or whatever it is. But it didn't sound

(01:53:27):
like that because normally, if you're overly concerned, he said, well,
there's really no time to but he's talking about hopefully
getting back going pretty quick. Feels like it's moving well,
and the fact that it's not structured. I just always
I don't want it to linger, even when he's playing
where it's like he's at eighty five percent, right, you
just don't want that even though he's good, and you
won't know until you test it, because it's when it's

(01:53:49):
the real stuff, it's a little more intense. So I'm
just anxious to see if he isn't there after the ten.

Speaker 4 (01:53:54):
Day il what the buzz will be, you know, if
there's still more or it could be just too more
days or formal whatever it is on the right, how
the rules work out.

Speaker 5 (01:54:03):
But I'm just anxious to see.

Speaker 6 (01:54:04):
And also, like I was about Lance mccullor's first start,
what is arms like the second start? I want to
know after playing three more games in a row after
the sore hand wrist area, I want to know how
Jordon response to that or if it's three games, take
one off. That's the stuff I'm looking for. Then that's
the severity of it. The antagonistic teaser grind, just kind

(01:54:27):
of lingering part of it more for me than the
oh my gosh, it's three more months? Is again a
linger all year that prevents him from really cutting it loose.

Speaker 4 (01:54:35):
Well, there's another shoe and we can talk about it
here on the Sean Salisbury Show. Like I said, Tony
and Al, you want to join him someone three two
one two five seven ninety As we continue here on
the Seawan Salisbury Show, Why you're back.

Speaker 7 (01:54:50):
This is the Sean Salisbury Show.

Speaker 5 (01:54:52):
Get back at it.

Speaker 4 (01:54:55):
Let's work in Tony before we continue the Jordon conversation. Tony,
what's going on?

Speaker 2 (01:54:59):
Good morning, guys, Happy Mother's Day all the mothers out there.

Speaker 4 (01:55:03):
No good point by you, Tony good. Yeah, that's that's
a hell of a shout out right there. You're one
hundred percent right. Yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:55:08):
I lost my mother six years ago and I lost
my dad four months later. So if you still have
your parents and it's Mother's.

Speaker 2 (01:55:18):
Day every day, yeah, to day.

Speaker 11 (01:55:21):
You guys were talking earlier about Zach Decenzo and.

Speaker 2 (01:55:26):
Need to be in the lineup corner outfielder. Man.

Speaker 11 (01:55:30):
I'm looking at cam Smith and he said he wants
his cleats in the dirt. He wants to be in
the infield. But I don't project him as a long
term third baseman. But I do project him as a
first baseman. Think about it, man, big tall guy like
that first basement, good hands, soft hands, quick good bat.
He's a.

Speaker 4 (01:55:48):
He's a.

Speaker 11 (01:55:49):
He's an obvious choice to to transition into that first
base position. However, we have thirty nine and a half
million dollars invested in first base this year, twenty the
next year, and twenty after that.

Speaker 2 (01:56:03):
So he's got to have somewhere to play.

Speaker 11 (01:56:05):
I think right feels the obvious position for him until
that transition.

Speaker 2 (01:56:08):
Maybe moving to third. I don't know.

Speaker 11 (01:56:10):
I think Parades is doing great at third, but he's
isac Isaac Parades. He's not gonna He's not bregmant a
little bit. I'm looking at a record. We're eighteen.

Speaker 12 (01:56:21):
We are.

Speaker 2 (01:56:21):
We're eighteen at eighteen forty six games.

Speaker 11 (01:56:24):
That's pretty much where we're gonna be at the end
of the season, unless.

Speaker 2 (01:56:28):
There's a few roster moves. But I don't know what
you can do.

Speaker 11 (01:56:31):
I think we're pretty I think we're gonna stay in
pat It's thank god we won a couple World Series
in seventeen and twenty two, because I think I think
we're heading into the baseball desert. I'll just do there's
too many were we're there's too much redundancy in our

(01:56:51):
in our in our approach, and we're took another thing.
How many how many fastballs can we can we take?
I mean, got to start hitting the fastball first, if
it's the first pitch. That's what turned Myers around. Jump
on the fastball. They're gonna they're gonna challenge you early.

Speaker 2 (01:57:10):
Jump on it. If you hit it, you hit it.

Speaker 11 (01:57:12):
If you don't hit it, but don't wait to get
in the count down two strikes and swing at that
slider away. It's like a it's like a it's like
a move. It's like a bad movie. Over and over.
Change the approach. Hit hit the fastball early in the
count we'll start scoring some runs.

Speaker 2 (01:57:26):
As far as you're done.

Speaker 11 (01:57:30):
I think he struggled early, not just because of his
physical his hand. He didn't have any pretend to have
any protection in the lineup man.

Speaker 2 (01:57:38):
He hasn't.

Speaker 11 (01:57:38):
They don't have to pitch to him. He never got
a pitch to hit. They're throwing him.

Speaker 2 (01:57:42):
They're throwing him stuff out of the zone he's having
to chase.

Speaker 11 (01:57:45):
So I'm seeing eighty one to eighty six wins by
the end of the season.

Speaker 2 (01:57:50):
Hope it's better.

Speaker 4 (01:57:52):
Hey Tony, are you real quick here? I mean you're
talking about going into the desert. Let's just go ahead
and for the sake of argument, go back and look
at Satan twenty ten as opposed to do would you
argue at the Astros are in a better position now
than they were then.

Speaker 2 (01:58:05):
Oh, absolutely better now.

Speaker 11 (01:58:07):
But but but Dan, if you look at our minor
league system, we don't have a top ten prospect in
any position, nor a right handed pitcher or left handed
pitcher in our whole system. And I think that's why
they hired Dana Brown. I think that's his forte is
scouting and acquiring the client talent through through the draft
and through scouting. But I wouldn't say desert, but I

(01:58:30):
just they're gonna have to be creative. They're gonna have
to be creative, and they're gonna have to do some
things and have some courage, man like playing Descenzo every
day if the kids hitting.

Speaker 2 (01:58:40):
He's six point five. I love his approach at the plate.

Speaker 11 (01:58:43):
He is violent, right, he gets his hacks and and
if we're gonna go down, let's go down swinging.

Speaker 4 (01:58:49):
Now. Appreciate the call Tony Triple. You're gonna have to
hang up on him because my phone screen just went down.
But I mean, I understand what he's saying in terms
of the what's coming down the pike. And I mean, Sean,
we've talked about it too before. I mean, yes, it's
going to look a lot less like it had for
the previous eight years, where lcs IS and World Series

(01:59:10):
were the norm for you. I mean, there might be
a missed postseason here and there. There might be a hey,
they won seventy eight games this year instead of when.

Speaker 6 (01:59:19):
He's gonna happen at some point, right, it just is Dan,
It's just your You're spot on. It's just I don't
know when at some point you're winning eighty games and
missing out, Right, it's just going to happen. I hope
it's not now. And that doesn't mean the windows closed.
It means you had a bad season. Sure for Astros,
it happens.

Speaker 5 (01:59:36):
Well.

Speaker 6 (01:59:37):
The other side of that, too, is getting these young guys.
And I agree with Tony, I understand why you want
to play Decenzo all the time. You're paying Christian Walker
a lot of money, I mean a good amount, and
he's going to play, yeah, and they believe that his
past production is going to lead to not a bray
you like numbers, if that makes sense. And I don't
mean that disrespectful, but he's he's they expect them to

(01:59:58):
be a better place.

Speaker 4 (01:59:59):
It just it looks Hose Parctics aren't very good right now.
Jose A Bray you was missing, which is.

Speaker 5 (02:00:06):
Right.

Speaker 6 (02:00:07):
Yeah, Walker's better hitter at that stage of it, at
this stage of their careers.

Speaker 4 (02:00:11):
Some of the things were just timing. Oh sure, I
could see what Sure, and a Bray has been an MVP.
Aray have been an MVP and deserve that respect. I
think it was in the twenty twenty season right, shortened season.

Speaker 6 (02:00:19):
So but one thing they I think this team is
doing all they can to play young players so they're
ready soon, but they're not going to play the young
player every day at the expense of still thinking.

Speaker 5 (02:00:34):
They're not a championship caliber team.

Speaker 4 (02:00:36):
Does that make sense.

Speaker 6 (02:00:36):
Absolutely that if those two, if Decenzo and Campsmith are
regulars and they're part of it, and they're playing every
day and they're enhancing you, making you, giving you the
best chance in their mind to win a championship, they'll
play them every day. But they also feel like, Okay,
they're still young. We got to get other guys work.
You're not going to see them every day, yet they're
going to give them enough work to say, Okay, we
know what the future looks like and we love it,

(02:00:57):
but it's not going to be the expense of playing
Zenzo if he's struggling not to go out and then
play McCormick or whoever dubon or somebody else in the
outfield or at first base when you're in for Walker,
that they don't put Victor Carrottini over there in a
matchup situation at times, or are Yainer Diaz and Victor
Carrottini's catching, well, now they got three catchers, Salazar becomes

(02:01:18):
until what Jordan gets back, right, so or however, they're
going to move and make that roster move. So the
point is they still think they're a championship team, but
also also understand in order for the window to stay open,
some of these young players have to contribute. And if
it gets to a point whether two corner outfields are
you by far and away your best at the plate
and playing that way defensively, right.

Speaker 4 (02:01:38):
They'll make that decision. Then they'll make that move.

Speaker 6 (02:01:40):
But you're not going to give up on a season
to play young guys right now, because I think this
team still thinks that they're a championship caliber team, and
why wouldn't you with the pitching they have.

Speaker 4 (02:01:49):
Well, and on the farm side, I think a lot
of that is subjective. I think that like the Keith
Laws and all of them, there is a Jones against
the Astros. There is And while the talent is not
as because it used to be. I mean, let's also
factor in how good they've been on the international side
of signing guys.

Speaker 6 (02:02:06):
So I mean, and this team develops players as well
as anybody does. They come here ready to play.

Speaker 4 (02:02:12):
I mean, how many times it's almost kind of like Cardinal.
Like remember for years how the Cardinals were where it
was the Donalds.

Speaker 5 (02:02:18):
Who the hell is this guy?

Speaker 6 (02:02:19):
And he's end up in the All Star Game in
place forever there's and it was picture after pitcher after
the picture, or player after player.

Speaker 5 (02:02:26):
It's very similar.

Speaker 6 (02:02:27):
Well, and you know, Luno has been familiar with the
Cardinal organization you used to build it. That's exactly right.
So there's there's it's the similarity is pretty eerie in
a good way. But the ability to develop because when
they get here they have them ready to play most
of the time.

Speaker 5 (02:02:44):
Sure, that's a good thing.

Speaker 4 (02:02:45):
Well thing, and it's also too just to kind of
wrap up the Jordon thing the other shoe. I mean,
let's be honest, how this team has been with injuries?

Speaker 5 (02:02:54):
Do you mean how they've overcome it.

Speaker 4 (02:02:56):
Well, I mean not to how they've overcome it. You
mean conservatives selling it of you know, oh, you know
day to day.

Speaker 6 (02:03:03):
Let me tell then they're shut down. It's like what
That's why I'm not going to be disappointed or surprised
if Jordon, if after ten days he's still not ready.
And I'm going to tell you why. This team always
on this airs on the side of you're not getting
rushed back. Not in May they did. They just won't
do it. So if it's close, he'll rest, especially if

(02:03:26):
they're hanging around and winning one and they go on
a couple win games, win a couple here against Cincinnati
that if he needs two extra days, they're gonna get
in two extra days. This team, when it comes to that,
you never have to digit rush him back. This organization
is never in danger of that, which is not a
bad thing. But the truth is, you want Jordon for
one hundred and twenty of them, or you want Jordon

(02:03:46):
playing in sixty five of them. You tell me, got
to be careful with it, and I'm won't relate. Hey man, Normally,
if it feels good and you grip that bat, you
pick it up and let's go, but not at the
expense of Oh, by the way, you're gonna play two
once to sit one, play two, sit one, play one,
sit two, play two, sit one.

Speaker 5 (02:04:05):
Right, that's what you.

Speaker 6 (02:04:06):
Don't want with a soft tissue injury. And they do
happen regularly in pro sports where that happens, and the
guy says, man, I can't wait till next you when
I'm fully healthy, and they just fight their way through it,
and it's never as good as you want it to
be when you're when it's lingering, and that may be
a big part of the reason why the power is
not quite there yet.

Speaker 4 (02:04:23):
For sure. The pitching side, we can agree that side
has been really good and maybe are there still some
roles to be determined we'll discuss here.

And Jayden Higgins a guaranteed four year deal with the Texans.
First time a second round pick gotten such a deal.
So tells you how much Nick Asario and the crew

(02:05:58):
over there at NRG th about him. Seven one three
two one two five seven ninety the number two jump
aboard and Sean I think we can agree. These seventeen
games in seventeen days, it's gonna put a premium on
the pitchers. I mean, even if you know you get
to a certain point, like say Hunter Brown tonight, he
can go six seven innings, you feel good about your

(02:06:20):
chance to win. But during this stretch where there's no
off days, you've got a premium on arms. All of
those different things. I even think for the starters, you're
gonna have Joe already meeting with Josh Miller and saying like, hey,
maybe we got to you know, you know, take a
guy back here because we need him for the long haul,
not just for this, you know, get through these seventeen days.

(02:06:40):
So then that means more for the bullpen guys. Okay,
let me ask you this.

Speaker 6 (02:06:44):
Do you change your philosophy going into a six game,
a six man rotation and let's say it's six man.
Have we have they made the decision it is? Have
they done? Have we heard that out loud?

Speaker 4 (02:06:53):
I'm not sure that it's been official, but they've been
talking about that.

Speaker 6 (02:06:56):
That's where it's gonna go. And it will see it
a couple of times during the year. Yeah, to see
it on that run some point like it usually happens
a little later where they do the same thing and
was Verlander here? They tried to make a point of
it right.

Speaker 4 (02:07:08):
With this.

Speaker 6 (02:07:09):
I wonder when you come out of it, who you
worried about being more taxed?

Speaker 5 (02:07:15):
Is my point?

Speaker 6 (02:07:15):
So, and just so you understand I think you do
is I don't approach the starting pitching any different. If
you're going good in five innings, I need you to
get me to six. Matter of fact, I'm the opposite,
I think more than ever, because that's what you're hopefully
you're reprogramming. This isn't a four inning starting rotation. This
is a six to seven innings starting rotation. And program

(02:07:37):
it because I think when you come out of this,
I expect from Or to give me six innings every
time he pitches minimum. Same with Hunter Brown, Renelle Blanco,
give me between five and six. I expect that from him. Now,
what you're going to get from Lance and what you're
going to get from Weznsky, and if it's a six
man from Gusto or who however they're doing this, you'll

(02:07:57):
live with it. The reason why I got to approach
it with my top two and possibly three, to approach
it the same we Oh, they're at eighty pitches, they're
going good, It's okay, we can get to one hundred
because coming out of this, if the start and if
that doesn't mean you pitched to start one hundred and
fifteen pitches, if he's laboring, you get my point.

Speaker 5 (02:08:14):
I want the same routine.

Speaker 6 (02:08:16):
I would actually if I'm in question and it's in
the sixth inning and you walked one, but we had
a four batter inning and you're at ninety two pitches
and you're going pretty damn good, and you're Hunter Brown today,
I'm bringing you out.

Speaker 5 (02:08:30):
For the seventh.

Speaker 6 (02:08:31):
I just am because I think at the end of
this that it's normal now for Hunter Brown to give
me six innings, So it's not out of the norm.
Six man rotation, five man rotation early in the season.
Late in the season, it's the bullpen because if you
come out of this and you're giving me three and
a half four innings, so we're soft selling starting pitching.
It's not doing any good for your arms moving forward,

(02:08:52):
you know, when you're trying to lengthen them out Number
one and mccullor's is going to need that, even though
he got what eighty seven pitches in his first one.
But it's the bullpen if you're only used to giving
me one and now you've got to give me two
because you're in in the second inning to third inning
or fourth inning and seventeen days in a row. Put
it this way, here's one thing I can guarantee. You
won't get two complete games in seventeen straight days. You'll

(02:09:14):
be lucky to get one. In baseball, statistically, if you're lucky,
you're lucky to get one in your entire set, and
nobody in the season is getting four on one teath.
You're going to lead the league if you get like
three complete games this year, and you may blow the
field away the way it is not twenty two complete games.

Speaker 5 (02:09:30):
Like it might be easier to hit for the cycle
now than to.

Speaker 6 (02:09:32):
Do that, right, even though you may be primed to
do it, you're just not doing it. Sure, So I'm
the opposite. I think that I approached starting pitching the
same six innings. I mean six guys or five. I
need you, and I'm not going to force length, but
I need you. I'm approaching you the same way.

Speaker 5 (02:09:49):
Ninety pitches sixth inning, and you went one, two, three
in the sixth inning, walk somebody in the fifth inning
labored a little bit through twenty two pitches, and you're
at ninety. You're coming out for the seventh then, especially
when bingo bango bongo in the sixth Does that make sense?

Speaker 6 (02:10:03):
So it's the bullpen. I got it because they've been
they've been really good. The last thing I want to
do is have to pitch a bray you three days
in a row, or or pitch a bray one inning
and then give me two more back to back days
and then then lose a game late because you had
to use him two days in a row.

Speaker 5 (02:10:22):
Does that make sense? Sure? So I'm in the I'm
approaching my starting six or five man rotation. I'm expecting.

Speaker 6 (02:10:29):
Listen, we've built this one hundred brown year seven eighting guy,
and that's where I'm looking. All thinks seven and a third.
I think two outs in the seventh. I got to
get from somewhere, two outs in the eighth, and then
hater will close this out in the ninth unless we
have a big lead, right, I'll get somebody else there.
So for me, it's the bullpen that I'm more concerned
about in this many games in a row, taxing themselves.

(02:10:52):
I expect my starting pitching the way they pitch. If
you want us to continue to consider you frontline, then
then I need you to get me six innings. Four
is not going to cut it in seventeen games in
a row. You know how that works out, Dan, And
then for seventeen other games, you're trying to get them
back in condition and you're mixing and matching to save arms.
Let the starting pitching do their thing.

Speaker 4 (02:11:13):
And I mean, you know, with the starting pitching side
of it, I mean we've already seed once where you've
had to in so many ways skip a guy because
Hayden was nesky seeing the v LO drop down a
little bit and wondering, oh, man, you know we hit
because dead arm comes for every pitcher at some point
during different times.

Speaker 5 (02:11:31):
Like I mean, I talked about it here.

Speaker 4 (02:11:33):
I'll mention him.

Speaker 5 (02:11:33):
He's not here anymore, Ryan Stanick.

Speaker 4 (02:11:34):
I mean he was the one who talked about that
with me once off the record, where he was like,
you know, hey, look man, like dead arm's a real thing.
Like that thing happens, and it's just you've got to
try to find your way through it. Maybe it's an
off day here or there, just to kind of like
give yourself a chance to build.

Speaker 6 (02:11:48):
Yourself somebody with a second pitch instead of overpowering fastball
or what have you, right, Javier with do that member
when he came after that postseason, Yeah, and it pitched
more than he'd ever pitched, came back the next time.
It's like the up and down struggles of pitching more
innings than he's ever pitched as a full time starter
at the in the rotation and happened to give you
that many starts. He went through that phrase, that phase

(02:12:11):
of tiring out. I think Garcia has been through it
a little bit pre and I mean, and I get it,
I get it. I'll be honest with you. I'm actually
surprised we haven't seen a lot of it. Maybe we
saw a little from Renelle Blanco right at thirty when
you're getting you, but I think, yeah, that's what I'm saying.
So you know these different cats that dead arm never
hits a guy because they're so frigging you know, the

(02:12:33):
hunter Browns. It seems of the world, right, But guess
what this is when they're gonna have they almost got
to treat this. This is like playoff stuff for them.
Why starting pitching because you want to preserve you want
that bullpen preserved as well.

Speaker 5 (02:12:47):
I mean there's another side of this too.

Speaker 4 (02:12:48):
I mean, I was kind of surprised that the uh
never a spot a crowd didn't get fired up about
Josh Hater being used in the game the other day, Which.

Speaker 6 (02:12:56):
First thing I thought about is who's going to be
mad at this? I swear especially, But he hadn't pitched
in a.

Speaker 4 (02:13:01):
Couple of days, right, more than a couple of days,
was like four or five days or some pitch in
eight days?

Speaker 6 (02:13:06):
Well it was eight. See it was even I thought
it was like five days. I'm thinking, well, of course
I got to get him some work, fresh arm. Now
we're pass the point a fresh one. It's like, get
the cobwebs off this, I gotta get and throw. And
of course you put him in there, and of course
they needed to. And that's the thing I mean, do
you use that to your advantage now?

Speaker 4 (02:13:20):
Where I know that Joe has talked about I don't
want to, you know, try to do the up and
down with both he and a bray you as much
this year. But maybe maybe the fact that you just
went through the little bit of stretch you just did
where you didn't have to use either of those guys
very much, that maybe you can be able to call
upon an inning or two from those guys and.

Speaker 6 (02:13:37):
Hints why getting your guys deep into a game and
sometimes in creating some offense so you don't have to
go to a break hell at that point in time,
you're up seven, you don't even need a break you
in the eighth inning, or always or hater in the ninth,
then you can throw in.

Speaker 5 (02:13:52):
You can move back in that thing.

Speaker 6 (02:13:54):
Maybe at some point forced Whitley right get to one
of those runs, or maybe Gusto.

Speaker 4 (02:13:59):
Comes in and close out again. It doesn't matter. You're
exactly right.

Speaker 6 (02:14:02):
Give runs, and that's how you get these guys rest
by scoring more runs. So we don't even have to know.
You don't want eight days off from your closure, but
if it's just two or three days, you don't need
to bring him in when you're up seven to one
and it's a non closed situation and he's just throwing
to throw now. And by doing that early on like this,
maybe you're right. They can go back to back days
and they're fresher, so he can actually close out that

(02:14:24):
game when it's a safe situation. So more flexibility. That's
why I think bullpen preservation. Give me six by the
give me six innings by the at least your top
three guys the bullpen after seventeen straight games won't be tired.

Speaker 5 (02:14:38):
They'll be fine.

Speaker 4 (02:14:39):
And then I think after this seventeen game stretch, there's
another conversation that can be had. We can carry that
over also along with that don't you hate it when
your pet rats you out. Well, it happened to somebody,
we'll talk about it.

Speaker 7 (02:14:54):
The Jean Salsbury Show continues.

Speaker 4 (02:14:57):
Through these seventeen games. I don't think unless you know
injury allows for it, Sean, you're going to see any
moves made in terms of guys going down anything else.
I think the guys you have out there in the
bullpen that is going to stay.

Speaker 5 (02:15:12):
But this is going to come across.

Speaker 4 (02:15:14):
As Dan has a real jones for Taylor Scott, I
do not have a real jones for Taylor Scott. I
want Taylor Scott to do really well. As a matter
of fact, probably one of my favorite guys to talk
with in the clubhouse, I mean talking baseball, talking golf,
beef jerky as opposed to Bill Tong with him being
from South Africa. Great guy, and he is somebody that
has not had as good a start to this season

(02:15:35):
as he did last year. And it started to kind
of show late in the season last year that maybe
a little bit of that arm fatigue started to take
up for him. But I think you get to a
certain point where you start seeing Steven Okert counted on
for multiple innings, you start seeing Logan van wy counted
on for multiple innings. We'll see what happens with Forrest Whitley.
If he's able to get that knee right and able

(02:15:56):
to get back.

Speaker 6 (02:15:56):
How long how long we do we have any idea
about his the timetable.

Speaker 4 (02:16:01):
I mean he went on about a week and a
half ago, so I mean we've got to be approaching it.
So maybe that's an update that Joe will have for
everybody to dug out before the game today. But I mean,
you hope that he's starting to work his way back.
I guess it was the best answer I can.

Speaker 5 (02:16:15):
Give a bummer injury because we saw him in the
first one to get him going.

Speaker 4 (02:16:19):
It's it's a page in the letter at this point.
I mean, because it's just been one after the other.
I mean, you have to remember back with the guy,
and I've mentioned this before of being asked of some
of the best advice he got in spring training and
he mentioned Garrett Cole, And you're like, that almost feels
like ten years ago.

Speaker 5 (02:16:34):
It was only five years ago. But that's the point.
This guy's been around and been here at the doorstep
for so long.

Speaker 6 (02:16:39):
It was even before Garrett Cole got here, right, if
I'm not mistaken, right, I mean I.

Speaker 5 (02:16:44):
Think so we have to be. I mean, he's got
to be pushing is what twenty six twenty seven years old?

Speaker 4 (02:16:53):
Now, let's see Forrest Whitley is now twenty.

Speaker 5 (02:17:00):
Seven years old. Twenty seven, So I says, yeah, so
it's not it's it's been a minute. I mean, he's
been on this grind. I'm just anxious to see I'd
just love to see him healthy for a full season,
see what you get from him. It's got to be
miserable for him to keep going through something like this.

Speaker 4 (02:17:15):
Right, he was drafted seventeenth overall in twenty sixteen.

Speaker 6 (02:17:19):
We're in twenty twenty five. That's nine years and the
potential and the truth is they've been committed it to
seeing where this is, going through all this and here
he is and has a good you know, just to
get out there that first one and now just waiting
for him to get healthy. I'm looking forward to. I
hope his career turns around the way that I'm sure

(02:17:40):
he does as well.

Speaker 4 (02:17:41):
And for the roles that sky you think it's time
to be No, I don't think it's time to move on.
But what I'm saying is this is a role that
a lot of people look at and say, well, it's
not that important.

Speaker 5 (02:17:53):
The hell it isn't.

Speaker 4 (02:17:54):
I mean, this is a role that, hey, I don't
want to have to use my high leverage guys because
we're up to not we're up to one. Hey, I
don't want to have to use my high leverage guys
because we're down nine to one in the fourth inning.
I mean, you get my trade two to three innings
out of you the film Aton role of I mean.

Speaker 5 (02:18:09):
When Xavier was in the bullpen room.

Speaker 4 (02:18:10):
Yes, every single pitching staff in Major League Baseball has
to have that role. And maybe even if you've got
two guys that you can do that, you feel even better.

Speaker 6 (02:18:19):
It's an important role because it will rear it's had
a handful of times during the year, because it always.

Speaker 5 (02:18:23):
Does it Absolutely it does.

Speaker 4 (02:18:24):
I mean, even if certain times you have to kick
those guys into a high leverage role, you want to
be able to count on them. I'm just saying that
there's competition for that role when probably for the most part,
you don't want to have competition for that role because
it is a role that to some seems insignificant. But
it's probably the opposite. It's one of the more important
ones that you can have on this team. Hill Mayton

(02:18:45):
was that guy for.

Speaker 6 (02:18:46):
The longest time. I had a dozen times a year
or so. You're going to have those games where in
the second ding you're looking around saying, Okay, what's for dinner.
It's the preservation role. You're just getting your ass kicked. Yeah, right,
and you got to and you got to stay in
it because you got to play them all. You got
to play then. Yeah, there's no run with you don't. Yeah,
you gotta get it right. We don't have a mercy rule.
You got to keep playing. And every single team in

(02:19:06):
this league will run into one where the year in
the second or third in and your manager looks over
to this.

Speaker 5 (02:19:11):
Bench go says, it's gonna be a long day, dude,
and you don't how do we empty that?

Speaker 6 (02:19:15):
And you're prepared for it because you just know you're
getting every pitch to the other team. The ball is
just it's like you might as well stick it on
a tee. Everybody goes through it despite your best efforts.

Speaker 4 (02:19:24):
Tomorrow night, you're going to be in that situation with
Lance like you're gonna be in that very thing where
you get to the fourth inning. Man Space City Home
Network shows the dugout and you see Josh Miller on
the phone.

Speaker 5 (02:19:35):
Then they kick it out to the bullpench for simply
getting him healthy. Anyway.

Speaker 4 (02:19:38):
See somebody taking their their jacket or pull over off
and start throwing the ball against the wall, and then
you know, you just don't squad of catch.

Speaker 6 (02:19:45):
Roll hopping like an outfielder does to get them warm
up out in front of the pitching now, and you
just hope it's not a two inning thing where he's
you know, getting back into the flow and now I
gotta lean on you longer. And they've scored six in
the first You know though, those are that those are
the game. You're like, okay, we're going to be here
four hours now, how do I get this tour? We
can get out chip away a for fortunate because those

(02:20:06):
those happen too. But if it gets to twelve to
one and we're in the fourth inning or fifth inning,
how do I preserve this?

Speaker 4 (02:20:13):
Right?

Speaker 6 (02:20:14):
You go through those, and every team in baseball is
going to go through a handful of those.

Speaker 5 (02:20:17):
Are in the season.

Speaker 6 (02:20:18):
We're like, oh gosh, and you'll win you'll come back
and win one if it's six to one and do
your thing. Yeah, you'll give up a lead when you're
up six to one. We'll tell you when you're down
ten to two and it's the seventh inning and you're
like okay, or a sixth inning, you're you know, you're
just leaning on guys like you're talking about, dude, can
you need I need seven outs from you right along
and see what happened. But it'll be it said. These

(02:20:39):
next seventeen games will be big, but starting pitching, preserving
bullpen will be as important as anything. And that's including
you know, getting your do on out there and ready
to go, because the long term effect can crush you
for a lot of games if you don't handle the
next seventeen the right way.

Speaker 4 (02:20:52):
And it's also to the meeting at the mound when
you give the ball over to that guy that we're
talking about. As the manager says it, keep us in it. Yeah, yeah,
that's that's that's that's the every single time of come
jogging in all right, keep us in it.

Speaker 6 (02:21:04):
Yeah, drive the bus man and get us to get
us to a location when we got a shot, you know,
get us safe and then hopefully somebody will will have
one of the rallies they had in their first two innings,
and you just hope. But you do not want the
bullpen chasing the rabbit the whole year.

Speaker 5 (02:21:19):
Now, don't.

Speaker 4 (02:21:20):
Now, you definitely don't. And the astros, I mean that's
the you know what a difference a year makes. I
mean because this time last year, if you'd said seventeen
games in seventeen days this time last year, I'd have
been like that could absolutely drive on the start.

Speaker 5 (02:21:33):
Yes, oh hell yeah, you're not kidding man. So this
is this is is crucial and critical, fair.

Speaker 6 (02:21:43):
Important. I think it is for more than just the
w's in the l's. The preservation without saying preservation. Nobody
wants to hear that when you're talking about pro athletes
trying preserve what school get a win? Yeah, that's the
philosophy every day because in the end, one of these
will make a difference, because you know, the difference between
the winning team and the wild card team, the division

(02:22:03):
winner and a team that's trying to make the wild
card in this division ain't gonna be but a series
probably dan at the most.

Speaker 4 (02:22:10):
So we'll see how the astro is pitching hulds up
over these next two and a half weeks of games.
All right, Sean, your pets, have your pups, have they
ever ratted you out for anything? Like have you ever
you know? Oh, no, I didn't do that. And then
you know the dog comes walking in with something and
you're just like, oh, well, yeah, I guess I did,
like anything like that. You know, I didn't move the shoes.

(02:22:32):
You know, you know what dog comes walking in. Oh,
they can do it. But ratted me out to where
it was on them, not me. It was on me,
not them, and they made sure it was known. Probably
I can't think of one, but they'll they'll look at
the other one. I I know when it's one of
the dogs that did it, because you know, like dogs,
which ones feeling the guiltiest.

Speaker 6 (02:22:52):
But they've been pretty good about it. Man, about not
putting not putting you in a position. I said, Okay,
who who did this? Or did one of the adults
do it?

Speaker 4 (02:23:02):
So no, well, hopefully you were not fifty five year
old Victoria Vidal of Springfield Township, Ohio, because she was
pulled over where she had an active warrant and a
suspended license, and you can see the video and the
Springfield Township Police Departments put it up on their Facebook
page of the cop going up, you know, got the

(02:23:24):
camera on all those different types of things. Car completely
just squalor everywhere, trash everything. Then they noticed a raccoon
was in the car with her, and it's her pet raccoon,
Chewy was right there on the front seat. Yeah, so
get her out of the car. All of that, and
they're about to do a probable cause search of the

(02:23:45):
car to them when the raccoon comes holding it in
its hand, walking up, gets in the driver's side seat
holding a glass meth pipe.

Speaker 5 (02:23:56):
I saw the picture of it.

Speaker 4 (02:23:59):
That.

Speaker 5 (02:24:00):
Uh, I'm not sure how to take it, are you.

Speaker 4 (02:24:04):
Well, I mean, I'm almost wondering if Chewy was kind
of finally to the point of, you know, can't beat him,
join him. Well, not only you know, can't beat him,
join them, but of like you know, hey, look, you know,
as fun as fun as it's been, you know, not
not having the I gotta show him what you're doing. Yeah,
not not not worried about where my meals are coming from. Maybe, uh,
but any of those things. You know, I'm a wild animal.

(02:24:25):
It's time for me to get back into the wild.
So maybe the somewhat human side of the mammalian brain
kind of kicked in right there and said, this is
my chance.

Speaker 5 (02:24:33):
I'm gonna buy that.

Speaker 6 (02:24:34):
That that's that that that uh wildlife is So it
was you said a squirrel or a skunk, raccoon, raccoon,
that's what raccoons. I gotta say. Yeah, you did say raccoon.
That the rat can say. You know, it's it's I'm
tired of being a pet. Here's this, I'm selling her out.
You guys do with her what you want. Yeah, I

(02:24:55):
got peeps out here. Yeah, just or control. Come out here.

Speaker 4 (02:24:59):
Off the horse. He's been passing the damn pipe. Let's
hope not. It's so so like almost like Pablo Escobars.
What was it hippos? Was that what they were? So
they found out that they got into the supply. Yeah,
they're like they're ultra aggressive. Now yeah, don't don't do that.
But yeah, she got She was probably like, what are
you doing when I saw the You can't sell me

(02:25:22):
out like that. I just did let me go. Yeah, yeah,
pinch twice. You just gave me my third strike. Help man,
I me right, that's exactly sorry. Hey, what happened? How
did they catch you?

Speaker 6 (02:25:31):
Well, when you're explaining the story inside, Yeah, raccoon sold
me out. I was gonna sell the crack pipe got caught. Hey,
that's that's the thing. When she gets into the joint,
aren't you the raccoon lady?

Speaker 3 (02:25:41):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (02:25:41):
Yeah? And that that never goes away? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, we're all known for things, either we're proud
of or not. But she's hoping. It's just like a
TV show on TV. We're at the end of sixty minutes.
At the end of the show sixty minutes, she gets
to go back home in her acting role. Yeah, right,
that that that raccoon got it got her ass. That's
the thing. Like remember the old show Rescue nine one one.
I was like, you know where they would do the reenactments.

(02:26:03):
I'd love to see the reenactment of this one.

Speaker 5 (02:26:05):
Yeah. You know, hey, for your role, you're Victoria.

Speaker 4 (02:26:08):
Damn it.

Speaker 5 (02:26:08):
That's a smart raccoon.

Speaker 4 (02:26:10):
Yeah, who's the raccoon? Well, I mean, we've got Rocky
right here. You know, we thought about you, but we're
gonna go with Rocky.

Speaker 5 (02:26:16):
They did.

Speaker 4 (02:26:17):
They did a much better job in their audition or Rocket. Yeah,
they're like in Guardians of the Galaxy, you know where
you got Bradley Cooper.

Speaker 5 (02:26:24):
Wasn't it real quick?

Speaker 4 (02:26:25):
Here? What wasn't it Mike Leach that did he follow
a raccoon where he wanted to see where the raccoon
like you know, burrowed, or like where where I fall.

Speaker 5 (02:26:34):
Into his crib?

Speaker 4 (02:26:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (02:26:36):
He Actually I'm not sure if it was a raccoon
or not, but that is a definite Mike.

Speaker 4 (02:26:39):
Leech the story of oh, you know, I one time
saw this raccoon and uh, I just I wanted to
know where the damn thing lived.

Speaker 6 (02:26:46):
And I guarantee it was early in the morning when
Mike's doing that. I mean it might have been at
three thirty in the morning. Because if you call Mike
Leach at three thirty, hell probably up in heaven right now.
You want to make a call and Mike answers the
phone at three thirty.

Speaker 4 (02:26:57):
I told you the story of my buddy that got
the voicemail and he woke up the next morning and saw,
you know, three thirty in the morning and just answered it.

Speaker 6 (02:27:04):
And it was Mike Leach returning your call. That's that's him.
My brother and him have been best friends for years,
and you'd call Mike if I want to reach him.
The best time to honesty, God, text him when you
wake up three three thirty.

Speaker 5 (02:27:16):
But he's still up from the night.

Speaker 6 (02:27:17):
He's but don't text him at seven thirty, right, you're
not getting a hold of him. Yeah, but you will
get a hold of him if if you text him.

Speaker 5 (02:27:25):
He's up. He's doing He's talking on phone at two
o'clock in the morning.

Speaker 4 (02:27:29):
A legend him, a legend gone way belongs. He belongs
in the Football Hall of Fame. I agree, I agree,
what a guy for sure? All right, coming up. Even
though you don't have to worry about Draymond Green anymore,
the victimization antics are still there and it was on
full display last night. We'll talk about it. Let you
hear from him too here Shawn Salisbury Show.

Speaker 7 (02:27:51):
The Sewn Salisbury Show continued.

Speaker 4 (02:27:55):
These remaining rounds of the NBA Playoffs incredibly casualty asually
would be an understatement. Like last night, me and the
lady went to dinner. There was nothing on TV, but
I knew that there was gonna be the playoff game,
so I asked the bartender, Hey, would you mind putting
it on the Warriors, Timberwolves, just to be able to
just to be able to have something on TV. And

(02:28:16):
that was the first playoff action I had watched. I
had not watched any of the other three that are
going on. I just don't care. My team's not in it.
I just there's no reason get it, and none of
us should care. Well, during that time, we had the
Draymond Green technical foul where he gets into a tangle
up with the player and just happens to throw his
arms out and gets the foul call, gets the tee

(02:28:39):
and starting to look at it. Does that need to
be a flagrant? All of that, and you know we've
heard Draymond already talk about, you know, taking the victimization
side of it. Not only the victimization side of it,
but remember against the Rockets, Oh they missed those three
seconds calls. Really, you're gonna be the guy that's going
to complain about that. Oh you know they've played this way.
Oh again, you're gonna be the guy that's complain about that.

(02:29:01):
Fair enough, he does it all the time. He throws
gamesman ship like he's the head coach trying to manipulate
a technical you know, up up and down the sideline.
How they you know, hey, look at this, look at this,
and by the end of the third quarter of the
guy's calling that foul because pat Riley was in his ear,
or because Eric Spolster was in his ear, Greg Popovich,
Doc Rivers or whoever else right, or he may Udoka.

Speaker 6 (02:29:20):
They all play that. How to get the ref doing
the things. It's the same thing here. He damn well
knows every single thing he says, he commits every single week,
every single game, but he knows how to get them thinking.
There's a method. Drayvon Green is a bright guy. I'm
just telling you there's a method to the madness with everything.
We don't have to like it, but it serves him.

(02:29:41):
He not just throwing it against the wall and hoping
it sticks. So I think he knows it's going to
stick when he when he has finished playing. And if
the Warriors get bounced in this round, sure as you're born.
There's that word. There's those words again.

Speaker 4 (02:29:52):
But sure enough the next round, Draymond Green will be
on the TNT desk to talk to c.

Speaker 5 (02:29:58):
Yes, once he's done playing, he's going you think.

Speaker 6 (02:30:02):
Charles Barker to work for one of those yes, Or
if he just wants to do his own platform, but
it's common pure basketball.

Speaker 5 (02:30:09):
He's he's amazing, He's awesome.

Speaker 6 (02:30:12):
He's like a basketball savant when it comes to he
really is, Yes, great basketball i Q and they all
know that he does well.

Speaker 5 (02:30:19):
That's why he's still a good player.

Speaker 6 (02:30:21):
His basketball iq is has always been through the roof,
always and he was pretty well coached in college and
needs to say, guys, the guy's pretty good.

Speaker 5 (02:30:30):
So he gets it.

Speaker 6 (02:30:31):
And he comes from an area where you know, he's
a tough area of of what Detroit I think somewhere
I think, but it's I know he grew up and
he's not a Memphis guys. He's Detroit's Michigan like people
talk about a tough neighborhood that he came from. So
he grew up. But he put it this way. He
knows how to antagonize. He knows how to be cheap

(02:30:56):
on the court and a little cheap shot, but he
also knows how to saying what to say it to
maximize it whatever. That maximization is good, whether it's for
your team because against you, he knows how to maximize it.
And there is a method that's where that basketball like
you comes in. He's doing everything he can for this
series and the next series to try and get them thinking.
And you're right, when he's done, it won't be a

(02:31:18):
matter of if it'll be whining who when he decides
he wants to go on TV and start saying all
this stuff regularly in criticizing the current player, which he's
gonna have to criticize.

Speaker 4 (02:31:27):
But I don't think he cares well. And that's what
you have. You have to have that if you're gonna
be a good broadcaster. That has to be part of
your approach.

Speaker 6 (02:31:33):
You can't care if somebody doesn't like you because you've
criticized that game.

Speaker 4 (02:31:37):
When you make it personal, then it's on. It's fair
to say there's a narrative about Draymond Green. There's no
question and more than one action. Right, Absolutely well said narrative.
He talked about that last night in the locker room
after the game. He looked like the angry black man.
I'm not an angry black man.

Speaker 1 (02:31:50):
I'm a very successful, educated black man with a great.

Speaker 5 (02:31:53):
Family, and I'm great at basketball.

Speaker 4 (02:31:56):
I'm great at what I do to put the gender
to try to.

Speaker 2 (02:31:59):
Keep making me look like an angry black man. Is crazy.
I'm sick of it. Is ridiculous.

Speaker 4 (02:32:04):
It's just really rich for him to do the whole
narrative agenda thing about this, because number one, you bring
most of this on yourself. I don't believe that you
were suspended indefinitely just because the league didn't like you.
You were suspended in definitely because honestly, they've given you
enough of a runway at that certain point that Adam
Silver said enough's enough. He got to be able to

(02:32:26):
move on.

Speaker 6 (02:32:26):
He built the runway Draymond did. It's named after him, right,
he built it. It's him itself inflicted. But once again,
it's a perfect way. He knows how to say. You
guys keep saying that, but I'm I'm this, I'm this,
and just he he's a I'll tell you what's true
in that he's a bright, successful, smart, damn good basketball players.

Speaker 1 (02:32:49):
Right.

Speaker 6 (02:32:50):
But but there's a he knows how to play the
metal game too, dude, as well as anybody.

Speaker 4 (02:32:54):
And he's doing it. Do it all the time with coaches. Oh,
they're talking to their team through the media. I mean,
it's message, but it's also I mean it's the playcating
that happens on the floor where you know, regular season
against the Rockets, knocks down Alprin Shingun, he gets the
technical foul and then he's still going at the referees
and it's just like, dude, just throw this guy on
the game.

Speaker 5 (02:33:14):
Yeah, they won't give him the second one.

Speaker 4 (02:33:15):
Because here's the thing that's gonna end up happening now,
is it's going to reach a fever pitch if it
hasn't already. But you know the line that I've given
you before, he ain't the one to try. If the
NBA doesn't get this in check, somebody is gonna finally
say all right, fine, we'll check them for you.

Speaker 6 (02:33:31):
Well, I'm the shocking part is, as it hasn't happened,
we get a lot of guys that'll chest up and
like you know, the chatter and people get in front.
But when's the time, And that time's coming as well.

Speaker 4 (02:33:42):
Where he's Jordan Pohle, not the other way around, right
where somebody says, you know what.

Speaker 5 (02:33:45):
I'm gonna test this dude's toughness.

Speaker 6 (02:33:47):
Finally he gets to do all this and I really
don't care like a pitcher, Like I said, he says,
you can kick me out all you want. This is
I've had it, And is he tough guy, tough guy,
tough guy, cheap shot guy, tough guy, fake tough guy,
you know, And I think he's probably somewhere in between
the not fake tough guy, tough guy on there's no

(02:34:13):
doubt he's got but he usually knows that the other
guy's usually not coming at him right maybe.

Speaker 5 (02:34:20):
Chest to chess.

Speaker 6 (02:34:20):
I'm talking about the one guy who will who's got
his personality and is a bad man too, comes from
understood the hard road right how to get where he's at.
And as a similar you know, Draymond knows how to
manipulate situations and that's part of his brilliance. And he's
got great basketball IQ. And we've said it before, is
you will run across and there's always somebody tougher. So

(02:34:42):
if it gets down in a knockdown instead of chest up,
where guy says, i've had it, and then the low
block you've had him, tired of him putting his knee
in your lower back or whatever, and you just wheeling
and you hit. You don't get into the shoving thing.
You just throw a right hook and saying that message,
you're saying, I know I'm going down for thirty of
these games that I've had it, And yeah, because there's
always somebody meaner, a bigger bad ass.

Speaker 5 (02:35:06):
There just is.

Speaker 6 (02:35:07):
So the question is when does somebody challenge that and
take that risk on or if everybody else is listen,
he instigated, this was just retaliation. We're not going to
hit him. You kick him both out and let's move
on from it. But yeah, you're right, but he knows
the exact game he's playing. Make no mistake. You don't
survive because he's lost his step a little bit and
some of the things. But you know what, he still manages.

(02:35:27):
They put the ball in his hand and clutch moments
to get to facilitate. Even at this stage of the game.
The guy gets it. But he's a pain in the ass.
You want to fight him, but you want him.

Speaker 4 (02:35:37):
On your team, and it makes sense to a post
career media career that I think again, he would be
fantastic at He needs to go into professional wrestling like
he is needed in professional wrestling.

Speaker 5 (02:35:47):
Questions does he wants he want that physicality?

Speaker 6 (02:35:49):
We got a lifted dude that's two seventy five over
the Yeah, you're not on a reg you're not a
weekly guy.

Speaker 5 (02:35:57):
But yeah, you just pop in once in a while.
That sounds Raymond.

Speaker 4 (02:36:00):
You know, We've got raw tomorrow night in New York City,
but then we're gonna do a house show in Albany.

Speaker 6 (02:36:05):
He'd be like, it's New York or Orts and we're
doing one in Atlanta and all say, you're on TNT said,
do you mind? Yeah, probably want to pop over and
jump on the villain tomorrow night. Yeah sure, Yeah. We're
gonna then end up pay him ten million bucks to
do that then times.

Speaker 4 (02:36:19):
Then we'll do a Thursday house show in Columbus, Ohio.

Speaker 5 (02:36:22):
It's like, no, no, I'm not. I'm not doing those.

Speaker 6 (02:36:24):
I'll be there for you want some controversy and you
want dream and he'll talk it, he'll grab the mic.

Speaker 4 (02:36:29):
Oh yeah, yeah, I'll be there for all. I'll be
there SmackDown reviews here or there. And here's ten to
fifteen million dollars to do it eight times a year.
Oh yeah, well why wouldn't he I would. It'll just
heighten his brand. Yeah, and the people that hate him
during basketball will probably love him as a wrestler. Yeah,
there's no doubt. I think he'd be really good at
baby probably one of the greatest all time. Heals the
rock and you've got an even better one that when.

Speaker 6 (02:36:51):
A guy knows he is and then can play it
to the hilt and get paid doing it.

Speaker 5 (02:36:54):
Yes, he's beat the system.

Speaker 4 (02:36:56):
I mean some people say we live in a simulation anyway,
so why not get paid even more for I got
news for you.

Speaker 6 (02:37:01):
Draymond's got a post career plan, even if he says
he doesn't, and he's probably got it down to a
t knowing exactly what he wants, and then I'm going
to tell you exactly what's going to happen when that
does is most people when they see him on TV
now or even if you listen to this podcast, you're like,
you know what I actually do kind of like this guy.
I've been one who's always said I want him on.

(02:37:22):
He's probably one of those guys. You get a teammate,
you're like, I love this guy.

Speaker 5 (02:37:27):
Charles Charles Charles was hated during his career. Of course,
you get guys who but they love you, but they
want to fight you when they're playing against you. But
at a golf tournament they want to hang around you
and laugh with right, and then I'll see you again,
And that's okay. There's nothing wrong with that.

Speaker 4 (02:37:43):
Listen, I don't like the way I want to fight
him when I watch him play basketball. Do you have
his partment?

Speaker 6 (02:37:47):
He said, I want to go out there and I
want to punch him. Want to I want to square
up no matter what happens, to just fight him. But
then there's also I got a great appreciation the guy's funny.
The guy's not afraid to talk to you. It does not matter.
He's ain't in the ass. But he's a good but
damn good. He's a Hall of Fame basketball player. And
the guy's basketball IQ is top five in the league.

(02:38:09):
It just is he's got got savant stuff and so
and you're probably gonna say, you know what, man, the
guy bugs me such a just to drive me crazy.
But damn I loved what he said about it. That's
what you're gonna That's how you can approach.

Speaker 4 (02:38:20):
Amount of absolute stumping we would do in this town
if he played for the Rockets and not Golden State. Oh,
come on, we we trade off.

Speaker 6 (02:38:30):
They traded him here next year. I'm just telling you.
You see all that Pubby gave him. He loves a Rockets.

Speaker 4 (02:38:35):
Team He also did shied them a little bit too,
us going, Yeah, it's different teams, but it's still that organization.
Oh there's no doubt, you say, he's got you know
what he's got in him. He's got Spurrier. Oh, there's
no question he's got he's got Spurrier. He compliments you,
but he pinched you in the face while he was
complimenting you that or on the back of the head.
You know that Bobby was a great, great coach. But man,
they always had some really nice shoes on those sidelines,

(02:38:57):
didn't they. Oh yeah, just something compliment you in the hitch.
That's that's Straymond Green. And if you did come here though,
you'd still people would rally around him. They say, oh
my gosh, but man, I'm so glad he's doing it
to somebody else. One of the best stories I heard
was somebody called in when Spurrier was doing the call
in show and goes, hey, coach, you know, i've uh
I think well was it uh forget what what Fanny was.

Speaker 5 (02:39:19):
I think it was Florida State.

Speaker 4 (02:39:21):
And he goes, you know, I'm a Florida State fan
and all this, and you know, I just I need
to feel better about myself and and he goes, well,
you know, you might as well be, uh, you know,
be a Georgia fan because you know, because in that
case we take care of them pretty pretty good amount
of times too. Oh yeah, regular Spurrier was a great troll.
He knew he knew he was the best at it.
So anyway, all right, So something that we've talked about,

(02:39:44):
and it's been a phenomenon for some time. What if
I told you that the hundred minute against one Gorilla
has now taken a hell of a turn. We'll discuss
that here. It is a Shaan Salisbury show.

Speaker 7 (02:39:57):
High fastball mills un your years. Just now you're listening
to Shaan Salisbury on Sports Talk seven nine.

Speaker 2 (02:40:03):
Lance Bok callers.

Speaker 4 (02:40:04):
How about the performance.

Speaker 7 (02:40:06):
Your home for Houston Astros baseball.

Speaker 4 (02:40:09):
You know, I think we got to be sixty minutes,
you know, if getting after their ass is really good.

Speaker 6 (02:40:13):
Oh yeah, and he'll he gets Like I said, he
was great at compliment you and to say hey, thanks,
and while he was doing it, slapped you cray.

Speaker 4 (02:40:19):
Yeah, no, he loves He definitely was a showman for
the game. There's no doubt about that. So we've mentioned
this before the one hundred men against a gorilla, and
I threw out the hypothetical that was there of what
would happen if one hundred gorillas fought one Chuck Norris, well,
somebody else who I think we can probably put in

(02:40:40):
the same category if Chuck Norris, I mean, he doesn't
have you know, the legendary stories or you know, the
ways that things could happen, Like what was the one
you told me Chuck Norris got bit by a rattlesnake.
It was a rattlesnake that died. Yeah, yeah, there you go.
I think John Bones Jones could probably be in that
same category. So TMZ pretty bad man for sure. That

(02:41:01):
guy even still with I mean, you know, he had
one of the greatest lines ever when Daniel Cormier was
trying to trash talk him. He goes, I beat you
when I was on coke, which I mean again not
to praise him for it, but I'm just saying, like transparency.
His whole point was that's how good I am, Like
I wasn't taking my training very seriously and I still

(02:41:23):
took you down. Yeah. So he caught up with TMC
and they asked him about the hundred men against the
gorilla and asked would you be a part of it?
He said, hell, I would lead it. I would absolutely
do it. He goes, I would absolutely be one of
the one hundred. This is such a funny topic though,
it's like everyone's serious about fighting this damn gorilla.

Speaker 5 (02:41:43):
What did this gorilla do to us?

Speaker 4 (02:41:45):
What did he do? It's a funny.

Speaker 6 (02:41:47):
Debate and the gorilla. We're never going to fight the gorilla.
I would hope.

Speaker 5 (02:41:51):
I wouldn't. I wouldn't advise. You don't need to turn
this into a real life squeak. He feels abusive to me. Yeah,
you know what I'm saying. I don't it does? He
don't want that.

Speaker 4 (02:42:00):
Plus, I mean again, we don't know necessarily how animals communicate.

Speaker 5 (02:42:04):
Who's to say that the gorilla doesn't know about harambe?
And I, yeah, there you go. So if that happens, yes,
and I'll.

Speaker 6 (02:42:10):
Tell you this, If you're going to do that, you
can't just let it go when the gorilla is getting
the ass whoop. When the gorilla starts whooping, humans ask
what are you going to do then? Or take to
start the reason why? They said one hundred and said
ninety eight of may not have much of a chance.

Speaker 4 (02:42:23):
He's going to be so jacked up that you try
to hit him with the trenk dark Yeah, idea, that's
not going to happen.

Speaker 5 (02:42:27):
You believe he laughs it off.

Speaker 6 (02:42:29):
I do believe Bones Jones isn't kidding, And I honestly
believe that he would be the first out in front.
And I honestly believe he thinks he could take the
gorilla and beat him himself.

Speaker 4 (02:42:39):
That's what.

Speaker 6 (02:42:40):
That's what, that's what the hell. Guys that are as
bad ass as him are.

Speaker 4 (02:42:44):
Prop He ended Steep Mioch his career with a kick
to the stomach.

Speaker 6 (02:42:48):
Yeah, that's a your body blows, don't usually he kicked him.

Speaker 5 (02:42:51):
I was like that guy just cratered like a brick wall.

Speaker 6 (02:42:54):
Yeah, he was a bad man, dude. Yes, I agree
that he would probably be at the forefront. I don't
think he's kidding about that. Lands one of those high
kicks on the gorilla. He's standing, He's not standing in
the back of the alley. He's jumping to the front.
There you go, And I like that about. Hey have
a good weekend.

the d I y everything like that. You're ultra adulting man.
